What are you guys getting out of your lifted v10's. I have a 2005 3v. It's a crew cab short bed with 4:10's and 37 inch tires. I have and intake 87 five star tune and aftermarket muffler. It has plenty of power. Has any one changed gears and gotten more millage

 

ive got a '00 on 4" and 35's stock gears, my chicks brother has the same pickup 14" on 44's geared (5.13 *i think*), we get the same mileage, about 8-8.5 average on a tank, K&N intakes and cat back's on both

 

I've got a 09' F350 w/37's, best I got so far was 8.3 on my message center. Looking to do a gear swap to 4.56's. I have a cat back, thats it.

 

2000 ex v10 on 44" boggers

I'm getting around 6.6 mpg......but it was winter here and i was letting it idle for 10 minutes in the morning because i couldn't reach the windshield to scrape it. Hopefully it will be a bit better in the summer

 

2000 ex v10 3:73 GEARS on 35's and i get about 11 on the highway give or take a mile if i run the speed limit or run 80. I get about 8.5 in mix of hwy and around town mostly around town.

 

2005-F250, 3V, with 4:10's and 35's and 10.2 in town and 11.5 hwy...

 

I feel like I just got nailed with a arrow to the chest...

Got to ditch my 245 contis but cant afford these kinda milleages

must get 35's... nooooo....yesssss

 

Those who have experimented and collected lots of data report that changing gears had negligible impact on mpg.

Unlike changing tire sizes! Bummer, but that's physics!

 

six inch lift, 35" FCII's 4:10 gears, 2v v10 13 highway 10 around town. I noticed i get better milage around town if i keep it above 40 mph. I also notice a big differnce with air pressure in the tires. The harder the better, and the life of my engine oil ( if its new or old) I can actually tell when its time to change the oil when my fuel economy goes down. I have driven this truck every day for 11 years. It's amazing how much the little things make a difference in the fuel economy.
