Newbe from Iceland
Hi I have owned for 2004 Explorer 4.6 V8 for about month now. I can drive it on Highway at 21 mpg if I challenge me but when in my small town it gets all the way down to 6 mpg (all short distances)I think thats not normal. I have change the sparkplug,fuel filter,air filter and going to clean MAF sensor and the throttle boddy but I dont think that is gona change anything. So guys you what is your BEST mileage Higway ann BEST mileage City.??

our 2002 gets about 20 MPG on the highway and probably 16 if your always in town. You got to do a lot of setting and idling and screwing around to get 6 MPG !

Letting the truck idle for even frequent short periods of time will kill your mileage if it's done a lot.
