Took a trip over the weekend from Columbus, Ohio to Salisbury, Pa. It was a 4.5 hour drive. Nice mountain scenery.... I've never been to PA before except maybe when I was on my way to D.C. in 5th grade.
Anyway, we took the wife's sport trac which has always been a gas hog. For the last month or so it's been getting a little better. Used to get 12-14 in town, now getting 15-17 in town. Anyway, on this trip we only used 1/2 a tank to go 250 miles. I filled it up in PA and checked the mileage....
22.2mpg! I am stunned. I had no idea a 4.0L with an auto tranny and live front axle could get that high of MPG's, especially since the last hour of the drive was up in the mountains running the engine around 3K for extended periods!
Trip home resulted in about the same. Little under 1/2, but we used the A/C some.
