NO! It has never gotten MORE THAN 14.5. More like 11-13 on average.
This is a 93 F-150, 4.9L, E4OD, 3.08, Extended Cab, Short box, running B.F. Goodrich Commercial TA Radials. 235-75R/15 XL @ 41lbs. Speedo/Odo is correct on measured mile and by Radar.
BTW turned 100,000 this trip.

I'm not sure what your problem exactly is but I used to get 18-20 mpg on the highway over Stevens pass in Washington state from Seattle to Wenatchee in a 1990 2wd f-150 with 3:08 gears, E4OD and 4.9L.
I know it's possibly......it did that consistently to year I owned and drove it.

I have a '96 F-150 4.9l 4X4 w/ 3.55's and 32's and I only get 13 to 15mpg. I too, was expecting more.
I had a 99 F-250 4x4 w/ V-10 and 4.10's and got 11 which I thought was great.
Also had a 99 F-150 4X4 w/ 5.4 and got 17mpg with about 3X the hp.
But what I like about the 4.9 is they don't break!!!

UNBELIEVABLE difference what 2 degrees of timing makes. Thought someone put a v-8 in it while I wasn't looking. MPG has to improve cause the engine isn't laboring and my foot doesn't have to be in it. In a couple of hundred miles I will fill up and let everyone know the outcome. Thanks alot folks. Joining this forum was definately worth the price.

I have a 94F150 4x4, I think the gears are 373? I also have the 5speed trans and manual hubs. I added the K&N filter and Flowmaster duals, replaced the O2 sensor. Mileage (about 14.5 average) on the highway but it seems gutless. I have an intermittent stumble at low rpms, changed the fuel filter, resulted in no change. When new it would get around 18 or 19 on the highway. This truck also has California Emissions and I would like to convert it to Oklahoma standards. Open to any and all suggestions. I am also a new member on this site. Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice.
