U.S. EPA
a 4WD Expedition EL averaged 13.4 mpg.
Consumer Guide
That said, much of it depends on use. If you use all three rows most of the time, and park it when it's just going to be the driver, the 2011 Ford Expedition can be a reasonably green vehicle.
Also, for those more interested in petroleum independence than environmental impact, these big trucks are E85 (85-percent ethanol, 15-percent gasoline) compatible, but then consumption rises to an EPA-estimated 9/13 mpg.
Conclusion
The 2011 Expedition remains one of Ford's few brownfields, and in some ways it's a relic of over-consumptive days past.
