Ford does say mpg delivered by the new I4 is "Estimated... (to) improve by more than 30 percent (current V6 Explorer), putting the fuel efficiency... in line with sedans such as the 2010 Toyota Camry V6." Camry's mpg figure 22.5mpg."

So no figures yet. I could not imagine a 4 cylinder in an suv though.
