2000 excursion

Hi everyone i am looking at getting a 2000 excursion limited v10 105k miles 4x4. The seller tells me the cruise does not work and he has replaced the clock spring. and still does not work. interior is is good shape and tires are60% and exterior doesnt seem to bad. he said he never saw more that 10mpg. i have been reading that few people are 12-14 mpg is this possible? if i add air intake exhaust and tuner will the mpg come up? The deal is pretty good on this and if it is possible to get 14 i will consider it. thanks

I had an 03 XLT V10 4X4 with 4.30 gears. The best i ever seen was 14 mpg. That was on a road trip. Average was 10mpg.

My Excursion does city driving 98% of the time.

I have never seen better than 8.3 mpg since the day I bought it.

I have the same EX and get 10.5. 4.30 gears kill the mpg.

I have the same vehicle. 10-city 14-highway.
I really have to watch, as my gas gauge doesn't work.

I have the same Ex. Winter back and forth to work 11, summer 12. Hwy mileage is about 13.5 at 65 mph. Towing is 7.5-8. Lots of power but if you want good gas mileage buy a Focus.

That's the truth. I knew I was looking at about 10 MPG when I bought it. Anything more than that is gravy.
