Wondering why the 2020 Explorer ST and Platinum advertise identical MPG numbers on their window stickers: 18 MPG city, 24 MPG highway, 20 MPG combined.
The ST has the more powerful engine and a 3.58 axle ratio, while the Platinum has a de-tuned engine and a 3.31 axle ratio.
Based on these differences, I'd think the Platinum would deliver better fuel economy than the ST. What am I missing?
