When I purchased my 2000 Explorer new, I opted for the V8. The economy has
been pretty good, about 13-15 around town and 18-23 on highway.
I guess they discontinued that V8 (5.0), but if I get another new one I
wouldn't hesitate to get the v8.

am thinking about buying a new Mountaineer to replace my 2003
Mountaineer. I currently have the V8 that gets...surprise
surprise....13MPG around town and 19 on the road, exactly what the new
"real world" sticker rating estimates on new Mountaineers. I noticed
that the 6 cylinder doesn't get any better mileage. Why is that? Why buy
one? Why does Ford even MAKE one if it can't offer better fuel economy
with the reduced power?
