Just finished a 2,300 mile road trip in the Explorer Sport. Stl to Orlando and back.
Generally had the cruise set between 70 and 85 the entire way. Got a little better than 22 mpg for the 2,050 highway miles.
Overall. Very happy with the SPORT. Would have rather been in the SHO for such a long drive. But my girls liked the extra room.
The drive home yesterday, I did all 1,025 miles myself in 15 hours and 15 minutes. Stopped only twice for gas. My wife and kids basically slept the entire way. So I just powered on.
