You will use very little if you drive it very little. Just from the cave to the store and back and park it.
If all you do is drive and drive for no reason then expect to pay pay pay. And that applies whether you have a Hummer or an economical car.
Go to edmunds.com and you’ll be able to answer all of these questions….since you didn’t give the year, I’ll assume it’s new (see link) Go there, shoose a style and read about the specifics.
Depends on the price of gas in your area.
An Expedition gas tank its bout 40-45 gallons…and yes, you will pay a lot in gas if you drive it a lot.
Average cost to fill an Expedition tank: 40 gal tank times 3.13 per gallon is 125.00
Less if your gas prices are lower where ya live.
I would never buy an Expedition based on its looks….They ARE gas guzzlers. I would go with a Ford Edge, or Ford Explorer..Which are smaller SUV’s. OR better yet go for a car, or a Hybrid vehicle. You get better gas mileage.
But If you drive a lot $150 is average weekly spent on gas for bigger vehicles.
Gas conserving: Buy a bicycle and drive as little as possible, look towards getting a more gas economical vehicle(your payments are lower,insurance is lower, and gas will be less), If you intend on driving your friends around get gas money up front.
Look on Yahoo autos, Edmunds or on the car sticker. It should tell you the annual fuel cost. It also matters how much you drive it and how you drive it. As an average $30 to $40 per week so your friends aren’t that far off.
I think your going to get low mileage they do have a V8 and they probably get 15-20 MPG
i got a 2000 expedition and it gets used to and from work Mon to Fri at about 40 to 45 miles a day and it cost’s about $70.00 a week to do so, i live in B.C. and our gas lately has been around $1.25/liter, hope this helps(engine size is 4.6L)
all i know is the 4×2 2007 models are 14 city and 20 freeway.
Do yourself a favor and DON’T BUY AN EXPEDITION! On top of the fact that they’re resales value is horrible, you’ll be getting an amazing 10 miles per gallon, which is really bad if you didnt know. Don’t pay attention to window stickers for mpg. They don’t take into account real world scenarios, such as driving in the rain, using the airconditioner, rear defroster, using 4WD and stop and go driving. If you need that kind of passenger space or cargo capacity, look at a crossover vehicle (Pacifica, Edge, Murano) or a minivan.
