Gas prices are affecting summer plans
and daily commutes across the country. But if you’ve got one of these large vehicles, you’re really feeling the pinch. Jerry
, the car ownership super app
, explores the vehicles that cost over $100 to refuel, and the Ford
that tops them all: the 2022 Ford Expedition.The Ford you can no longer afford
Since full-sized SUVs and trucks house the biggest tanks, naturally they’re the most expensive to fill up. Unless you live in California where gas is close to $7, the national average price of gas is $4.37 a gallon.
Also, because of their large tank capacity, they can hold between 24 and 28 gallons of gasoline. Unfortunately, with poor fuel economy between 14 to 17 mpg overall, drivers are seeking relief.
In particular, the 2022 Ford Expedition has a 453-mile range per tank and a 28.3 gas tank capacity, topping Consumer Reports’
list of most expensive vehicles to gas up. To fill up, it’s costing drivers an offensive $124. With new styling and technology, the 2022 Ford Expedition ranges from $52,405 and $84,610.
The Ford features a3.5-liter turbocharged V6 engine with 375 hp and it can tow about 9,300 pounds. The SUV can accelerate to 60 mph in just 7.3 seconds.
Consumer Reports gave the Ford Expedition a 5 out of 5 for the trunk/cargo area and rear seat comfort. For its acceleration, front-seat comfort, transmission, noise, and interior fit and finish the SUV scored a 4 out of 5.
Braking and ride received a 3 out of 5 and emergency handling scored a measly 2 out of 5. Consumer Reports gave the Ford an overall rating of 73.
