- 2001 explorer sport
Ok Here is what I own...
2001 sport auto 37k miles
Recently, without any change in my driving style, my mileage has dropped from 17-18 mpg to 14-15. Since the tank on my explorer is so small I'm only getting like 250 miles per tank which is frustrating! I would like to get back up to the 300 range.
So anyway I plan on changing the fuel filter this week because I think it's time for that to be done.
The tranny and radiator were both flushed about 2 weeks ago.
What else would you suggest doing to get the mileage back up. Is it time for new spark plugs and wires at 37k?
Any help is appreciated and I tried searching on this subject but most of those things were with higher mileage explorers so I just decided to make my own thread.
