Again, my truck is a bit different than what you are looking at. It is a Supercrew rather than an Expedition so there will be some difference I am sure. They Expedition "might" be more aerodymanic given I have the open box on the back but the Expedition is probably heavier given the metal in the back part. I know my Suburban felt heavier in the back end that my pickup truck did back when I had it. I have tracked my mileage fairly carefully. I had a low of 9.12 in town in January and a high of 17.9 on the highway in June. My average over a longer period is 13.68. These are conversion numbers. I normally convert liters and kilometers to miles and Imperial gallons. I've done the extra conversion to US gallons for this response.
Load does not seem to make a big difference, but speed does. If I run 65 mph I do quite a bit better than I do if I run 75 mph. It likes to run along at 80 mph so hard to keep it slowed down without using the cruise control.

I am prepared for 14 mpg. The previous owner claimed 16-17 mpg. The funny thing is I really don't drive that much. I realized a couple of days ago that it had been 4 and half months since I had my oil changed and I had just clicked over 3000 miles. So, yes, 15 mpg will hurt, but I only filled up 1-2 times per month with the benz. Donald H.
