Does this MPG sound OK?
Guys,
Just gassed up the truck and figured up that I'm getting 15.5 MPG. Do you guys get this. Is this good or bad.
My truck's a 94 F150 Supercab w/3.55's and 5.0 w/AOD.
Are there any mods I can do cheaply to get better mileage and/or response from it. I've already bumped the timing like you guys suggested and it made a world of a difference.
Thanks,
John

That sounds about average. I get around 18.5avg with my 1993 Reg Cab 2wd 5L/E40d/3.55 gears. The best two things to do for mpg is to ease up on the rpms and keep your truck in healthy condition. You might think about a tonneau cover/campershell and a better exhuast system.

15.5 mpg sound about right, assuming your not driving in California, excellent if you are driving in California. I get between 13-14 mpg on California crap gas.
Got a 5.0/E4OD/3.55/Ex Cab.

15.5?! thats very good, 18.5 is even better, my 89 5.0/AOD/3.55 gets about 13MPG and its a reg cab short bed, i've got duals, and a shift kit in the tranny. i'm going to advance my timming and hollow out my cats(one of these days) also i think my plenum gasket is cracked, but it idles at 900-1000rpm with the a/c on and about 1200-1300 with it off.(i'm going to check the timming on it, myabe it is retarted to compensate for the high idle that the plenum gasket causes?

Hey I would kill for 15.5mpg. I am in flat houston and get 13-14 on a 94 150 5.0 3.55 AODE 2wd. About 3/4 of the miles are hwy 30 miles each way to my office 70-75 mph. I already have cat back dual exhaust and am looking for anything to get this up some.
