No inline 6 since 2004. I get 17-18 mpg on local commutes and 20-21 on the highway. That's a solid 4-5 mpg improvement over my old Explorer and Blazer and it's more comfortable, handles better and is more stable on the road than either by a long shot. Mine has 78,000 miles on it so far and no problems beyond normal maintenance. WAAAY better than that piece-o-shyt Blazer ever was.
