* Year: Fuel economy has improved over the years with advancements in engine technology.
* Engine: The Explorer offers various engine options (e.g., V6, hybrid), each with different fuel efficiency ratings.
* Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive (RWD) models generally get better gas mileage than all-wheel drive (AWD) models.
* Driving habits: Aggressive driving, excessive idling, and frequent acceleration significantly reduce fuel economy.
* Vehicle condition: Proper tire inflation and regular maintenance contribute to better fuel efficiency.
Therefore, there's no single answer to your question. To find the fuel consumption for a *specific* Ford Explorer, you need to specify the year, engine, and drivetrain. You can then:
* Check the EPA's website: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides fuel economy estimates for vehicles sold in the US. Their website (fueleconomy.gov) is a great resource.
* Consult the owner's manual: The owner's manual for your specific Explorer will list the expected fuel economy.
* Use online resources: Many automotive websites provide fuel economy information for different vehicles.
Without more details about the specific Ford Explorer, I cannot provide a precise fuel consumption figure.
