2004 scab 4x4 w/4.6 gets 13-14 mpg i try to keep my foot out of it. and yes i also calculate my fuel mileage at the pump using the miles drove and the gallons req'd to fill formula.

 

Bump to the top

 

Guys,
Merry Christmas again! This is a hot one indeed.....My 99 Expedition with FIPK gets 15 aropund town,was going to do a cat back but never got around to it.....New SuperCrew so far is at 13 best.....but as an old friend and mentor used to tell me there were a few ways to figure fool economy.....
1. buy a little
2. drive a little
3. LIE a little...
Not saying that about anyone dont want to step on any toes as I am new here....but ...Ya'll have a nice day...damn rainy down here....on my new truck.....Take Care

My '05 5.4 Lariat gets average 14 according to the factory computer in the dash. For those of you who do not have this feature it averages all the driving until you reset it. In the city if I'm accelerating hard it can go down as low as 10 and on a highway trip driving at 60 (just to see what mileage does) it gets almost 19. My truck is lowered, Roush split off-road exhaust, Undercover bed cover, factory tire size, 3.73 rear end.

 

Hey everyone just bought my 2007 f150 5.4L SC 4X4 Lariat with 85 miles my MPG is 9.4. I guess the engine needs to be broken in. Any thoughts?

 

Have a 2006 F-150 5.4L 3.73 18" rims 275/65/18 tires with 1300 miles and average 14-15 MPG on strickly city driving. After my last two fill ups the MPG was 14.4 and 14.5 on all city driving.

 

Welcome to FTE jpage82. It most certainly still needs some time to break in. I wouldnt even start looking at the mileage till 1-2k miles are on the odometer.

 

first tank in the truck all hiway... 18.7 mixed driving to a fro work... 16.2 I am happy so far.

 

i get about 16 -17 in town. 21-22 on the hgwy. I have a 4.2 5spd w/ 3 55gears though. My 03 scab only got 13 w/ a 5.4 in town and only about 15 at best on the hgwy. oh and my driving style i avg. .. i dont get all over it but imnot the slowest on the road either.

 

Something I forgot to mention in my post is I've been running Mid-Grade gasoline. I've run Premium in this truck once so far and the truck put out a 15.5 MPG average. When I go up to Salida later this month (strickly highway miles), I will post my average.

 

15.5 / 19.25...supercrew 4X4 5.4L 3.73 12,500 mi

 

2007 F-150 4.2L w/5-speed: First fill-up came to 19.4 mpg. This was mostly highway, but high-speed/heavy traffic. Also no cruise on this very basic truck. Second tank seems to be going down faster, which figures, because it's all 'city'. This is a very nice truck for the money - about what I would have paid for a base Colorado. One of the last ones to come out of Norfolk, so I hope it isn't a 'revenge' truck! So far so good. I believe I could get 23 mpg or better at a steady 55 mph, but who can do that these days? Everywhere you go is like a lap at Talledega. I don't mind going fast, but we're talking drafting with idiots here.

 

I keep a spreadsheet to track mine. In 29,800 miles my average is 13.58.
My commute involves driving 3 miles (25 mph avg), taking a bus, and a train. Those trips net me about 11 mpg.
I tow about 6000 lbs one or two times a month 300-900 miles round trip depending on the track. Towing I get 10.5.
One the occasion where I actually hit the highway and drive without a load I get about 17.5 at speeds averaging 75 mph.
05 SCrew F-150 FX4 w/18s

 

06 F150 4x4 Screw with 20x8.5 Roush Wheels and BFG's - 13-14 MPG
13k on the clock as of today....

 

2006 XLT Scab 4.6 18,000 miles averaging right at 17.2 mpg with mixed driving. I am on the road all day stop and go making sales calls, but have a 35 mile straight drive home. I think the cheesy skinny Hankook tires help the MPG's (although they look terrible)
