New owner - question
Hi, new to the site, have an 05' SCAB 4x4 lariat. I LOVE my truck! Question is regarding the mileage between fillups. When I picked up the truck new, the computer said 420 miles till empty. After 5-6 fill-ups, I can only get the computer to show close to 380 miles till empty. I have filled topped off the tank and cannot duplicate the 420? Any thoughts?

Hey, I'm new too. I have an 04 F-150 FX4 and mine was oppisite from yours. I used to get 11 miles to the gallon and after about the first 3000 miles or so I get about 12.5 to 13 no matter what I'm pulling. I've got a 35.7 gallon tank though so yours may be smaller. I love this truck but this thing is killing me at the pump. $62.00 on my last trip !!

You should not rely on the computer to give accurate readings. Do the math at the pump, and let us know. For those of you that are getting low mpg readings, you should ask your local dealerships to make sure you have the latest tunes. Many of the older 04s have inferior computer programs, and many have found that a reflash helps them by a few mpgs. Personally, I have a Superchips unit, and I get 16mpg. I just added an Extang tonneau, so hopefully the mileage will increase even further (havent had to fill up yet). I will post back if I find it helps any.
