With your parameters, 21-23mpg. I get better mileage at 100 in 6th than I do at 75 in 6th. Tested this several times from Vegas back home... 100mph cruise in 6th is the sweet spot.
'04 Cadillac CTS-V 124k miles LS6/T56 Also, I'd like to know which Expedition you have. As far as I am aware, Ford never made a 5.7L. They had the 351 pre-Mod days at 5.8L, and the 4.6L Mod and 5.4L Mod motors for their trucks, vans, and cars. |

I have a 2013 Mini Cooper Clubman 6 speed manual. No turbo. I drive about 20K a year.
42.2 MPG at 70mph cruise with A/C on. Just over 520 miles on a tank more than once. 
37.5 MPG in everyday driving. Edit- I am not a greenie or a cheapo but I hate giving money to the Arabs to buy gold yachts and/or fund terrorist. Once you get used to spending so little for gas each month it is hard to go back to 16 or even 20 MPG. |
