getting really bad gas mileasge in my 06 fx4. Is anybody else getting 11mpg.

 

is it stock? what size engine

 

Im gettin 15 in the city so far, BUT given the fact that its a 5200lb truck, I cant complain. I traded in an 05 GTO for it cause I couldnt stop speeding and getting tickets, it only got (my fault) 16/17 in the city. But then again it had 400hp and could go 165mph

 

Mpg I'm a aggressive driver so im sure some one could do better

 

Where do u drive the most at?
Highway or City?

 

I got 11 MPG towing my boat up the hills to the lake. Coming back I got 14.75 mpg. Just got 15 mpg my last tank.

 

yeah LS series engines can do that to ya, My Trans Am only got me 1 so far so

MY 2001 F1540 15mpg city highway idk, F250 usually the same when taking off hard, when going easy 16 city

 

My 02 fx2 now gets 11.5 in the city and 16 on the Hwy. It useto get 15/19 for the first two years. Going broke trying to fix it.

Yes they can, I loved that car, but it was going to get me killed. Why Ford cant come up with something to match that is beyond me.

 

I get that towing my #5000 travel trailer on the HWY..... Even less in city....

Empty, I average around 15 mpg going to work and back. Most of it is hwy, but most of the time, it's stop and go on the hwy because of the traffic.. Takes me an hour sometimes to go 18 freaking miles!!! I HATE WORK!!!!

the 4.6L 3v did just that..

 

The only 4.6L that matches (and beats) an LS engine is the 03-04 Cobra. 300hp cannot keep up with 400hp unless there is a significant weight difference. Which between the Mustang and the GTO is 250lbs. Ive always been a Ford guy, but there wasnt a stock Ford around that could touch that LS2,especially on top end. The Mach 1s could make it a real close race, but they would lose it on the top end, I know cause I had one of those too.

 

Tire type will impact your fuel miliage. Did you swap your stock all terrain tires for a tire that has a more aggressive tread pattern for off road use. Run higher air pressure than in the owners manual or door sticker. More weight = more pressure. This will affect ride and wear. Judge for yourself. I run 35-38 psi in the front and 28-32 in the rear. Lariat 4x4 screw. Keep engine RPM's below 2k for two tanks of fuel and see what you get for miliage. Granny drivin sux, but I regularly get 16.9-17.5 mpg mixed driving. Pay for the fuel or keep you foot out of it.
