Ford Expedition Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Amazing fuel ecomomy for size....17.5 mpg overall, have hit over 20 mpg on 5 tanks, high is 22 mpg. 6-speed auto had 2 overdrives. see full Ford Expedition review

Ford Expedition Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	0	Seriously, what a pig. Not towing - mostly highway (over 400 miles worth) but some city driving as well - in 600 miles, we averaged 13.9 MPG. The car's computer appears reasonably accurate (as a rental, I do not know if it was really full when picked up but the second tank MPG was within 0.5 MPG of my calculation based on mileage). Yes, there were generally 6 passengers (4 adults, 2 kids) and the AC blowing (front and rear) to combate the Texas heat, but I was light with the thottle and it was quite flat. I am well aware no one will buy one of these based on gas mileage but this performance is just abysmal. Hopefully the next generation will improve. see full Ford Expedition review
2007	4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	It weights 3 tons, so fuel economy is not going to be great, but 13-14mpg in town and near 20mpg on the high way is achievable. see full Ford Expedition review
2005	4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 4-speed automatic RWD	13 in the city, 18 on the road, not bad but a diesel would be better see full Ford Expedition review
2004	4dr SUV 260-horsepower 5.4L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Vehicle is expensive to operate see full Ford Expedition review
2003	4dr SUV 232-horsepower 4.6L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	10.7 mpg. Need to say more? see full Ford Expedition review
2000	4dr SUV 260-horsepower 5.4L V8 4-speed automatic RWD	The 5.4 L engine gulps fuel. Usually get 14 around town and best of 18 mph on highway if easy on the throttle. Probably all that can be expected of such a heavy vehicle with high wind resistance. see full Ford Expedition review

2014	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The Mazda5 doesn't get great milage. But it's better than other minivans and most CUVs. Of the alternatives I shopped, the Mazda was the most frugal on gas. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2010	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Impressive considering all this vehicle can do (carry six, or a bunch of stuff). Driven with some restraint (60-65), I can average 30+ mpg on my weekly commute. With a microvan that can seat six. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2009	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Better than our previous mini-van, mostly because of size. We drive it harder, so some of that advantage is lost :) see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2008	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Avg under 10L/100km one of buying criteria. good on hwy and not as bad as full sized van in city. Good for long summer road trips. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2014	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	If only. If only Skyactiv came out during the 5's redesign. While gas usage is better than the competition, it's far worse than it could be. Just popping in Mazda's latest engine and tranmission combo would surely give several more mpg. Just a 10% improvement would make me happier. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2007	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It uses twice as much fuel as a Prius. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	vehicle is heavy for its size so the fuel economy is not that great. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	My 4 speed automatic yields about 10.5 L/100 km on 50/50 highway and city driving with a conscious effort to stick to the speed limit and driving as if I had an egg under my right foot. Eh, I thought it would AT LEAST be under 10. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
