Ford has got the gas mileage goods on its 2011 EcoBoost-powered Explorer, and it’s news you might like if you want one: you’ll get 30 percent better mileage with the inline-four than you could with the outgoing V6. Ford did, however, leave a key detail out of the press release touting this: it didn’t reveal the actual mileage number, “pending EPA certification.”

Nevertheless, with the 2010 Explorer’s 210-horsepower, 4.0-liter V6 EPA rated at 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 out on the highway, you’re looking at a healthy increase all over with the four-pot turbo doing the work up front. Follow the jump for Ford’s press release that details all the reasons your wallet won’t be so sad if you end up buying a 2011 Explorer.
