Since this came back up I'll chime in with what we get on my wife's Explorer Sportrax. It has the V-6 and AWD.

Pre-hypermiling, I took it with three other adult males and our luggage (no scuba tanks) from northern Michigan to Atlanta Ga and back. I recorded fills and did the numbers. We were at 23.7 including two days of riding around in Atlanta. Our highway speeds were 70-80.

My wife usually shows 18-19 mpg on the dash guess-o-meter. Her driving is both country roads and small city driving, without a thought for FE. On a highway trip running 60 mph I recently hit 27.2 on the gauge.
