The rear-wheel Expedition has also been rated to achieve 24 mpg on the highway and 17 mpg in city driving, while the four-wheel-drive model achieves 19 mpg combined, 22 mpg on the highway, and 17 mpg in the city.

The competing rear-wheel Chevrolet Suburban has achieved a rating of 19 mpg combined, 23 mpg on the highway, and 16 mpg in the city.
