I can't attach it because I don't know how ,but if you go to u tube and put in ford excursion it has car and driver or motor trends initial review of the new 2000 ford excursion and at the end of the review he says "and get ready when you take this to the gas station it will cost you about $60 to fill it up". So that makes the cost about $1.36 a gallon, it's unbelieveable.

In spite of the fuel spike, I'm really tempted by this one. 7.3L, 4x4, my favorite color, low miles.

was 160$ to fill our 2000 ex 7.3 up today, but good for another 5-600 miles now.

i filled up on friday at $3.38/gal...... took 6 gal after 215 miles....... hated to drive home and see the EX and the F250 in the yard, but after 3 fill ups and saving an average of $45/fill up...... i can't complain.
we'll take one or the other out hooked to the trailer with the atvs, so i won't feel to bad!

just filled the excursion up. 25 gallons. 193 miles. 7.7ish mpg lol
3.82/gal for reg 87.
i may throw some cash into my explorer and get it back into daily driver ability(few small things needed) because it can get 14-15mpg in town w/the v6. which if prices get higher it may be worth it..not sure at this point.

i just got a isuzu pickup 4cyl for free and fixed it, i might run that around town. i think it might get over 15 mpg since it got a 5 speed stick and a 4 cyl with 2wd

Just got the fuel bill from BP. Dammit, we didnt buy any diesel last month and it was still 1440.00. My mortgage payment isn't that high. And that only goes through the 1st week of March and prices are up yet more. Wish the ranger had an 8' bed, the F250 would go in mothballs for a while.

I haven't driven the Ex in over a week, I haven't fueled the Durango in 3 weeks, it has been driven a short distance twice. We have told the kids that unless we are going on a long trip they will have to suffer sitting in the small cars.
