6. Other Choices (See why?)   Gas prices...gas prices, moan, complain...woe are we. This is a good time to ask yourself whether you really need a full-size, truck-based SUV. Well, do you? Do you need to tow more than three tons? Do you need a maximum payload of over 1,500 pounds? If you answered no to these questions, they why are you even thinking of wasting this truck's capabilities on commuting or people-hauling? There are less costly and more efficient vehicles out there for those jobs, including crossovers, minivans, and even the 2009 Ford Flex (we don't know what to call that vehicle yet).

   2008 Expedition EL

   The poor gas mileage comments for the expedition EL are unwarranted. The gas mileage one attains is closely related to the driving style one uses. I just completed a 4000 mile trip that included mountains, plains, headwinds, tailwinds and all in bewteen. The EXP had 12,500 miles on the odometer at the start, a fresh oil change (5-20 FORD oil), MOS2 oil additive with approx 500 pounds of misc on board. Speed was 65 to 80 MPH. The gas mileage was between 18 and 19(MAX). Pretty good considering the weight and wind resistance. City/highway mix never gets below 16 MPG

   2008 Expedition EL I agree

   People who complain about poor gas mileage for a vehicle this size are morons. I just completed a trip from Arizona to upstate NY. I had my Expedition fully loaded with a 5,000LB U Haul trailer in tow. I got on average 16MPG for the trip. I usually get between 18-19 with a mixture of road and freeway driving without a trailer. This vehicle has great gas mileage for its size.
