I just bought the 2000 Lariat 4x4 OffRoad back in October. The cost of gas is getting outrageous...and at a piddly 11mpg I'm quickly going broke. Starting to wish I hadn't gotten rid of the Ranger.
I'm only averaging 230-250 miles per tank. I'm almost at the 100k mark, but I can't imagine a tune up helping that much.

Anyone in the market for a truck? lol

 

my 2001 SC 5.4 gets 11 MPG pulling a 4000 pound trailer down the highway at 70 mph. day to day it is 15 winter and about 16.5-17 summer. what are you ding to get 11?

 

Doing? Driving....that's it, no towing and not really a lead foot either.

 

11 really sucks big time.....i get consistantly 18 with my truck.....my truck is a 5 spd 4.6 L but still 11 is horrible......mabey take a look at the maf....see if it's dirty....do you have the check engin light on...O2 sensor can mess up MPG....when mine went i went from 18 to 10 mpg.....100 K....mabey time for a tune up also....plugs, cop, new air filter if it's dirty, exc...gotta be something going bad cause 11 isn't good as i'm sure you know

 

I agree with a dirty air filter and also doing a tune up. I was only getting about 210 miles out of tank of gas. I recently cleaned my K&N and noticed a big improvement in milage. Last time I filled up I was getting about 15-16 all around driving. I got 270 miles out of the tank. Gas here by me is $2.69 a gallon and it really sucks driving a truck.

 

Does'nt matter how you drive up here, @ 108.9 a liter (multiply that by 4 for gallons) you tend to ration as much as possible. $50 doesn't even get me a 1/2 tank anymore.

 

I just put $25 in my tank (mid-grade @ $2.59) and it took me from 1/8 to 1/2 tank.

Yesterday, it was $2.45 too!

 

I got $110 in my F-350 a couple days ago

 

I have a 97 F150 4.6l that gets 16 mpgs, city or highway, doesn't seem to make a difference. My 00 Expy with the 5.4l gets 14 around town and 16-17 on the highway.

 

I just filled the 68 CS, she holds 56.8 gallons with 3 tanks, took 54.0 gallons at 2.79-9 for mid grade or $151.15 smackers. Yup around town stop and go cold starts with 2 1/2 to 7 mile trips down to 7.5 mpg. I can squeeze 14.1 if i behave on the highway. This is the price of fuel in the S.F. bay area.
They practically give it away, drive in Europe where their price per/litre matches our price per/gallon.
.....=o&o>.....

 

I get 15 in the city with my 5.4. Its always gotten around 14 or better since I added electric fans. I did lose some mileage before I changed the O2 sensers but it came back after I replaced them

 

My 01 5.4L 4x4 gets 13-14 in town and 15-16 on the highway.


(PS he said no towing, but has a trailer hooked to the truck in the photo )

 

How much you sellin it for?

 

$10,500 not bad of a price I don't think
