Gas Mileage
I've got a 94' ranger 4.0 4x4 with 112k miles on it. My gas mileage isn't great. I'm sure many of you can relate. Can some of you guys throw out what you typically get? Just wanted to see how I compared to someone with similar year and mileage.
thanks

I'm getting over 20 per gallon. Obama suggest that you keep your tire pressure up to increase gas mileage, this can decrease our dependence on foreign oil imports and decrease our trade deficit, Then I laughed.
I've got a 1999 ranger 3.0L flex-fuel v6 automatic 4R44E.

I was getting 20-21 with mine until I wanted taller tires. Now I am getting 16-17. I sure miss the old milage. LOL

Usually around 20 highway 15 around town. 06 4x4 4l 5spd
95 Dually- did you figure in that the speedo/ odometer will be off a bit with the taller tires? Messes up the MPG calculations a little bit.

Hope that helps.

Did you replace the transmission filter? Mine had a bunch of metallic sludge in the pan when I changed mine recently, 141,000 miles.

I did tranny fluid changes (drain) every 30k including a filter change. Just had the tranny flushed out completely (including a full torque converter flush) two weeks ago and didn't have any crude or metallic bits in the pan. The fluid was varnished, but mostly due to the heat caused by a failing water pump not helping to keep the fluid cool and the contributor to causing the running hot condition. I do have the add on trans. fluid cooler. Other than that, the total flushed improved the tranny performance. For nearly 160,000 miles, I'm impressed with the original tranny, still holding on strong.
