************ - Philippine Car News, Test Drives and Prices: Review: 2012 Ford Explorer 2.0 EcoBoost GTDi

Ecoboost:
City(Heavy Traffic): 5.95 km/L
City(Light/Sunday Morning Traffic): ??km/l
Highway(NLEX/SLEX/SCTEX ): 10.2km/L

Limited V6:
City(Heavy Traffic): 5.68 km/L
City(Light/Sunday Morning Traffic): ??km/l
Highway(NLEX/SLEX/SCTEX ): 8.07km/L

If this would always be the case, I'd rather choose the toys laden V6 limited version over the ecoboost since i'll use this explorer most of the time in city traffic conditions.

There's also a possibility that the ecoboost unit used during this review was not yet "BREAK-IN(Not the factory one) and its city traffic mileage would improve later on

I'm expecting at least 6 to 7km/L for the ecoboost version in city traffic conditions and based from my own computation(daily route) I can save as much as 20,000 pesos in annual fuel consumption cost which I would spend instead for PMS.

Get the V6. The Ecoboost struggles to accelerate especially if it is fully laden, and the FC suffers as well. Read our posts sa explorer thread

Thanks for the info. I'm reading the explorer thread but I just want to keep track of the FC of limited vs ecoboost explorers. I think the 5.95 km/L FC of ecoboost might the be worsts FC in city traffic condition and the 5.68km/L for the limited version might be the best city traffic FC IMHO. I'll just use the explorer daily with me alone..

It's one of the worst for the V6. The best city FC for the V6 would be 6.8 km/l. That's according to a friend who owns and drives one

i have a limited
city: 4-5km/l with heavy traffic
nlex: 7-8km/l (speed:120-140kph)

haven't really driven the ecoboost but based on feedbacks the difference in FC isn't really that much.

Thanks for sharing your information here foresterx and numbah5

Do you have FC info of your limited V6 for the following:

Highway(NLEX/SLEX/SCTEX max 100 km/hr speed): ??km/L
