Please report on your Navigator mileage here.

Include your odometer reading, city/highway mix, driving style or anything else you think may help others compare their mpg with yours. Thanks!

    None of the posters above told us if their Navigator was 2WD or 4WD. Please let us know, and I hope more people will post on this topic.

    Wife 300+ miles much hiway - 15.2

    Self 200+ miles lots hiway - 15.1

    I have gotten up to 20+ hiway only when 60mph is top speed.

    Wife can run it down to 10.8 just taxiing kids around town from red light to red light for a week or 2.

    Editorial comment - I hate gas stations more by the day, but the Nav is a safe, reliable, sweet ride.

    I had two Navigators, a 99 and an 03. The mileage on both was the same, 12 in town 16 on the highway. You can't expect much better from a truck of that size and comfort. You pay for the comfort in the gas expense.

    By the way, they were both great trucks, and I'd have another one today were it not for the price of gas.

    My old man's 2001 has never topped 13mpg and at worst has seen 8mpg. Yikes!

    2002 4x4 w/70K miles.

    HWY I average high 14s, low 15s depending on how much hilly driving is done. Around town is the mid 12s. Even pulling the boat 250miles to our cottage (hwy) with 3 people and a full load, I still get in the 11s.

    This all on regular octane, btw. I've never put premium in it from day 1.

    My wife never stays home, 4x4 she gets 12mpg. She uses cheap gas and I wonder if higher grade would help. She drives city and highway.

    Use whatever the owner's manual says to use. If it says use 91 octane then using 87 will hurt your mpg. But don't expect more than 14.

    Our '04 2wd Nav just clicked over 50K miles. As with our Excursion, the more miles, the better these things run. The Nav started out new averaging 12 MPG, slightly better on a long highway trip. It's now getting 14 mpg around town and 15.5 on an extended highway trip. Usually loaded down with 2 kids, dogs, luggage and 2 adults. Cruise set between 75-80 mph. Have been interested in the CX-9 and Acadia, but I'm not hearing any substaintially better mileage stories. By the way, the 4x4 Excursion (V-10, 3.73) get's 13.5 mpg on the same trips the Nav is getting 15.5 on. Not good, but considering the Excursion's capabilities, I'm not disappointed! Bottom line, heavy SUV, 300+ HP engine, brick-like aerodynamics = lousy mileage!

    How can you "work for ford" and "sell them all day long". If you work for a dealer you don't work for Ford and vice versa.

    I was wondering if you would be able to post what system you have put in to get better fuel millage? I have been only pulling 11mpg in town we do not go out of town much so it usly goes around town. I take it in for all the routine tune ups pluse i usly have them do an aditional thing every know and a again with it to keep it in top shape.
