    2001 Ford Expedition that gets horrible gas mileage.

    The parents of my kids friend on the soccer team tell me it gets horrible mileage. He drives about 200 miles a day and he has to fill it up at least twice! WTF could it possibly be doing. The light is not on.

        Is he towing a backhoe?

          100 miles on a tank? Holy shit, how could it even run? Would have to be fouling plugs and running like total shit at that rate. Or have a serious leak.

                Gas guage or sender faulty? Is he actually filling a full tank each time? I would imagine a Expedition has a 30 gal tank or so.

                  What is his actual MPG? # of miles / number of gallons.

                  If he's only putting in 8 gallons each time after 100 miles, that's about 12.5 mpg.
                  When we got to my place, I already had a candle burning. It was by "Glade", which I think you pronounce like the singer Sade, because it is an exotic candle that smells just like real pine.

                          scan it for all past codes, pending codes, current codes (maybe the lamps burnt out for being on for so long) and go from there

                            This, or crafty neighbors. I doubt a leaky cap would evaporate that much fuel

                              Okay, a little more info. He puts in about 45 bucks worth each day and drives about 110 miles. Trouble codes p171 and 174, some solenoid circuit on both bank 1 and 2. What solenoids is it talking about?
