2016 Ford Explorer - Fuel Economy Test + Fill Up Costs

We test drive the 2017 Ford Explorer to test its fuel economy and then head to the pump to see how much it costs to fill up.
The model we tested was equipped with a 3.5-litre V6 Ecoboost.

Chevrolet Traverse
GMC Acadia

I have the 2018 explorer platinum and fuel mileage is horrible. I drive 30 miles everyday(6days) to work and home and I fill up almost twice a week.

[@jasoncaldwell9752]

Man. Has it been worse since gas went up or has it been like that.... I got a 2018 Ford Explorer limited. And trying to figure out what da hell is going on. Should I use 93 is what I'm thinking.

[@GVMBITxxx]

@@jasoncaldwell9752 I have a 2017 and I swear the mf just eats gas I can fuel it to a full tank and the next day it’ll be below the line lol

[@peraltal2618]

I have a 2011 explorer 3.5L that I use as a courier. When I bought the vehicle no matter how I drove or what type of gas I used I was locked on 10mpg in city 18-19 mpg highway. I cleaned the fuel injectors and now i get 23 mpg in highway and 15mpg in the city average

[@CarRevvedGaming]

When the website says, the 3.5L V6 Ecoboost will get you 22MPG while it shows 14.43MPG in the video. I wonder what the 3.5L without Ecoboost will get? The 3.5L could be less efficient than the Ecoboost.

Why Does The Title Say 2016 And Description 2017 That Doesn’t Make Sense

[@hassan0098]

Awful fuel consumption!

[@user-kq8rk1vd3u]

Helpful exactly what I was looking for

[@byronchavarria4954]

[@m7ewes]

Thank you, i was researching for how much real gas mileage the 6v ecoboost and i'm not happey with the 400km because the 6v n/a it's take 500-550km (city), thanks again, do know how much the 4L ecoboost kilometre take full tank ?

[@byronchavarria4954]

Kilometer Not Kilometre

[@byronchavarria4954]

250 To 340 Miles

[@byronchavarria4954]

His Ford Explorer Costs $36.75 (35.131 Liters 9.281 US Gallons) To Fill Up While My Ford Explorer Costs $46.75 To Fill Up (52.1 Liters 14.2 US Gallons) My Ford Explorer Fuel Is Much More Expensive Than Him

[@MrSakald]

Sheeeesh! My Honda pilot consumes like 11 liters when it's warm and 13 liters in the winter.

[@errolbeltran8789]

[@mondpak]

Your milege is 196.8 Km and You fill up 35.13 liter then It should be 17.85 liter per 100 Km.But your instrument panel shows 16.8 liter per 100 Km.It's a lillte strange....

[@byronchavarria4954]

Or 122.2 Miles And 13.17 Miles Per Gallon

[@anthonyb97]

That's a 2016 model. 2017 models just released about a month ago with sync 3.

[@Chellebeller]
