The worst I've ever got is about 14.5 with only around town. My normal routine is about 70% around town and the rest on the highway and I average 16-17. Freeway driving I get 17-20 depending mostly on the speed. I haven't towed much yet but did get almost 18 on a trip from Las Vegas to San Jose towing a uhaul at 70-75 mph.

Dont go by your "MPG" on the trip computer in the overhead console, they tend to not average up right. Ive done no engine tweeking, or chip changing, everything stock. Try it for a while, wont hurt!!!!!!!!!

Casey" Subject: Re: new air filters not needed I just had my airbox changed on my 99 Diesel Powerstroke. A few weeks ago I bought some air filters at an excellent price. But, the new air box has a different air filter. I have two for sale---at a good price. If interested, please e-mail me privately. Thanks ------------------------------ From: "Jeff Skarphol" Subject: K&N Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2000 14:44:01 PST Hello to all, I recently got my truck and am now looking for upgrades, mainly to give me a few more mpg's. Seems like the K&N filter would help a little bit, do i spend the 50 dollars on that or is it worth it to go to the generation 2 entire system. What effects has everyone noticed after installing one of these on the truck? Thanks a lot. 99 black F-150 XLT, most options, 5.4, ext cab, shrt box, ford steps, access roll-up tonneau cover ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2000 18:22:48 -0600 From: Neil Stahl Subject: Re: TSB on the Air Box What's the TSB on the air box?

Recently with a big snow storm my air cleaner filled up with snow and ice and I finnaly got the dealer to do the TSB on the air box. Funny how my latest tanks of fuel I've gotten 13 in the city. And those are'nt inflated figures Ok I've watched this develop. Some of you guys claiming this milage, want to give me some particulars. L:ike what rear end, (mines 4:10)auto?, what kind of speeds you drive to get these great mpg's. I've got a feeling either I've got a bad truck, bad dealer/ mechanic or the biggest lead foot on the list.

Recently drove to Ohio, then back to North Carolina, picked up a 2200 # trailer, then home again. Too lazy to do calcs on road, saved gas receipts, added em up. Final answer: 22.3 average for trip. No, not a slowpoke either, 70 - 80 MPH most of the time, including towing. Cruise control on 95% of time. On a prior trip I drove to just south of Orlando. Cruise control whole way 75 MPH. Nevre shut off truck, just hooked on to a backhoe trailer (empty) weighing 7500#'s, and hit resume for the ride back. 17.8 average for that trip, again, calculated end of trip.All in all, I figure you should get a little better than the 11 - 14 your seeing. Our F350 flatbeds, PSD, 6 Spd., get that, and better, around town....

I don't tow and I don't plow snow. Additional weight is due to a Weather Guard cross box (aluminum tool box) mounted over rails. My rig is a 99.5, Super Cab, Auto, 4X4 Off Road, 3.73LS, widest stock tires. Being a 99.5 is important to mention, because there are no CATs, two inches lower in rear (less drag?), a redesigned smaller turbo unit and airbox system (less power?). I drive mostly country roads. Average speed: 60-65 mph. Air pressure 55 psi all around. And not exceptionally hard on accelerator petal - only when I need to be. When new, spring through late fall, my mileage steadily climbed to about 20 mpgs. But came winter and "winterized" fuel, and it plummeted to 16 mpg Usage of 4X4 was a contributor - but not big, since little ice/snow this year. Also, ran with window defrost setting on, which runs the air conditioner compressor. My truck is not a good coaster: down hills it's as if I've released a parachute behind me. That's why I don't think driving with cruise control facilitates better mileage. Every time I go over a hill it effectively "brakes", and has to go into acceleration mode sooner to get back up to the set speed. At least it seems that way to me.
