I was searching for a 7.3 powered vehicle and was wondering about Excursions in the area. A quick search found several 6.8L close by, all which appear to get LOTS better fuel mileage than anyone on the Excursion forum has claimed.

This one allegedly gets 23 city, 32 highway.

For that, I'll trade trucks in half a heartbeat!

 

Must be that ultra aerodynamic dent in the fender.

 

Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum - Ecomodder.com Fuel Economy Forum 7.3s do too

 

mine can get that much! granted that's it being towed by someone else with the engine off I can just get up to 32 mpg out of my v10

 

32 is no problem..... when coasting. I'm sure they inspected the truck with the same care and attention to detail that they wrote the ad with.

 

damn, my math must be off be a few tenths...

 

Engine Off Coasting?? These people are crazy. Endangering their lives for a few mpg's......stupid.

Its funny, in my area I usually see all the rice burners and Prius owners going 90+ on the freeway and rocketing away from intersections. And its the regular people too, not just the tuner geeks.

 

Those are the same people that believe that driving their Prius is actually "good" for the environment. Not sure how that math works either

 

23/32 huh...... couldnt do that if it was turned off and being towed by
a tractor trailer..... people will list anything to sell a vehicle..... my 10 cylinder gas hog gets 13 highway..... no biggie..... I try not to drive
thousands of miles at a time

 

I love putting my Ex on the highway! I try not to drive it locally any more than necessary....
