I just purchased this explorer a couple months ago from my brother and had to replace the timing chains to get it on the road. Lil did I know I was going to use 200+ a week in gas!
The only modifications done to the vehicle is upgrade the tires from the factory to Firestone Destination M/T - P265 70r 16s. I did adjust the torsion bar in order to allow my tires to fit and my front end does sit a lil higher than stock. But even before the upgrade my milage was about the same. I am at a loss of words and don't have any idea how to fix it.
I ran an OBDII Test on it and it's response is as follows...
