I got mine because the intention was to write it off tax wise, though not too sure that is going to happen any more. It sure is handy to have at times, sucks dealing with people always not wanting to be behind a truck, but of course Houston is known for our "great" drivers.

Well, it does average 17.2-17.4 though, just some tanks are worse than others. Matter of fact, year to date(all time of ownership) it has averaged 17.29mpg. Would not be too bad had the price of diessel stayed down. When I got this truck on June 30th the cost of fuel was about $1.55 today it is $1.95 and just a couple weeks back it was $2.18 As unleaded fuels pretty much stayed, I can get premium for my saleen for the same price I could months ago if not cheaper, I watched the cost of diesel raise drastically. I tend to top off the tank twice a week and oddly enough I always know which station on my route is the cheapest place to go to. I used to have a Mountaineer(same thing as a explorer), I always got around 15mpg in that thing and could not stand it. I went from my old work truck that got 17mpg to the SUV, always annoyed me that the old truck with less fwd gears was better on gas than the brand new SUV. -- Aaron Rouse http://www.happyhacker.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - RUWebby http://www.ruwebby.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:138451 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
