Has anybody else had as bad of mpg as I have? I am only getting 10 - 11!!

The worn out Chevy with the 5.3 I traded got over 16 and the window sticker of my 04 SCREW with the 5.4 indicated over 14. My 03 Excursion gets better mpg with the older 2 valve 5.4 and the dealer refuses to admit there is a problem.

I have even tried driving like my gramma and its 10 - 11. This sucks.

 

Something doesn't sound right, I have on 04 S-Crew 4 X 4 5.4 and get in town avg of 14.5-15.5 and on the highway 17.2.

 

I get aound 15 mpg on my FX4 Supercrew.

 

9.9 mpg on my last tank, last time I was in for service I asked about the poor fuel mileage, they said give it time. I am bringing it in for service on wednesday, I'll mention it again.

 

Been getting 13 lately.

 

I get 14.5 to 15.5. Haven't seen 17 yet. And this a mixture of city and highway.

 

10-12 here. Now most of my driving is back roads to work and only 5-6 miles so I figure that is why it is so bad.

 

11-12 City. 16 Hwy. only 1500 miles on it. Hoping for better when the weather gets warmer and the truck gets broken in.

 

Hey, sorry to hear about the gas mileage. My 04 2004 xlt 4x4 got 14 driving to work, mostly highway some urban. 17.5 on long higway trips. Your mileage doesn't sound too far off for only city. Enough about that, and Ford bought it back.

What kind of APBT do you have? I had two, my boy passed away last year and I still have the girl. I foster and rescue them. I'm just interested. I'm partial to Red noses.

 

you didn't say what rear end you have. If you have a 4.10 rear end. The MPG will be lower than the norm.

 

Get about 12.5 -13 mpg on my screw 4X4 driving back and forth to work (20 miles, almost all highway), averaging about 80 mph. Drove from San Diego to Chicago and back over christmas and averaged 14.7 (according to the information center) averaging about 85 mph. I suppose if I could keep my foot out of it, I'd do better.

 

I have an 04 SCREW, 5.4, 3.73 and I averaged 20 mpg (19 in the wind and 21 with the wind) on an 8 hr round trip driving 75 mph. Around town I average 13 mpg which is about 1-2 mpg less than my 2001 Chevy 5.3 with a higher speed rear-end. Interestingly, the Chevy got about the same on the highway. By the way, my fiberglass bed cover improved my highway mileage by about 1 mpg.

 

2004 screw 4x4 5.4 373 gears, i was getting 15-16 in town and 20-21 on hywy, and then they changed my pinion gears and clutch packs, and my milage has steadily dropped to 10-12 in town and 16-17 hywy. they tell me that it is the cold weather. i could beleive 1-2 mpg drop for the cold weather but not 5-6mpg. i think there is something wrong in the rear end that they did. it also feels like it is slipping now, the rear end or the transmission. i'll just keep taking it in til they find something. $40,000 is alot of money to be having these problems, and hopfully ford will make it right. if not they will lose alot of sales. i know its not the workers its the engineers and upper managment that just pushes them out to make the money and try to forget about them. so if you are having problems with your truck keep taking it back til they make it right, its your money.

 

Mine started decreasing dramatically. I had it reprogrammed, and what a difference! I got 18 highway last weekend.

 

2004 5.4 screw w/3.73. Get about 12/14 winter and 14/16 summer.
