My solar calculator says this is 11.466 mpg.
Why is this not bad...... on a road trip?
Ohh, nevermind! My bad! You're one of the few honest people who actually recite accurate
real life mileage rather than creating a fairy tale like so many Excursion owners do!

yeah, highway i have a best of 12.8mpg i think. i'm hoping for just a tad more when i go this summer.
i've been able to get 10-12 in city but nothing consistently, more like 9.5-10mpg.

Wow...8mpg around town. I don't think I could deal with that. I average 14 around town and 19 on the highway. All hand calculated. Then again, my diesel engine cost more up front, costs more each fill up, and costs more to maintain.

My Excursion is and has always been for "pleasure use" only. I think I have driven it 10,000 miles in the last 4 or 5 years. Currently it is sitting under a carport and not even being used, I have taken my Ford conversion van out of hibernation and have been driving it this summer. But, gas prices and mileage per gallon aren't really an issue with the Excursion, even when it's not hibernating. Plus, I have a new company car and free gas at my disposal for work.

I'm just outside of Chehalis. If you'd prefer, I could 'hold onto it' for you...

winter time it can be as low as 7mpg. i hope for 9-9.5 anything else is just a huge plus! big thing is everyone's area is different. my "city" driving is 45-55mph stop light to stop light.
