just picked up a explorer saturday. 99 EB 2wd 4.0 with 169,300 miles. truck runs great. maintenanced well and kept clean. my message center (center digital lower console) has been continually displaying my fuel economy right around 20-21MPG. is that right? sounds way better than i expected. crawled underneath the truck and read the diff tag, 4.10 ! how on earth am i getting 21 mpg city driving with 4.10s?! granted, i have been babying it since i got it. it actually read 23.5-24.5mpg on the interstate on the way back home when i bought the truck. bought it saturday and have been driving it every day. since its only been city commuting for the past 4 days, its been consistant with 20-21 mpg.
when its time to fuel up again, im going to check it the old fashioned way. until then, was going to see what you guys had to say about it. if its accurate, thats pretty awesome.
thanks for any info
