7.3 mpg problems

Hey guys I have a 99 f250 crew cab 4x4 short bed with 130,000 mi and no mods other than 285/75/16. My fuel mileage went from 17 to 18 avg to about 13. What happened? I live in jersey if that means anything. I make sure not to idle long. what could be the problem?

Welcome to the site!

To get the best help for your problem you will need to post in the tech forums since this one is used for introductions. Click on the Forums tab at the upper left and review our boards. There are forums for your year of truck and your engine. I also recommend stopping in the New Jersey chapter and see what is going on in your state. Here's the link: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum143/

Good Luck!
