Just passed 125k

Just passed 125k miles and still running strong.

Last oil change figured i would switch to synthetic (Motorcraft 5-20)
So I changed the oil and added a sea foam to the tank.
I have this little app on my IPhone that tracks my MPG and fuels cost among other things and well i jumped from an average of 16 MPG to 23.5 MPG on the last tank. I double and triple checked the numbers and everything is correct. I hope she maintains that MPG!!

02 XLT 4.2L mostly stock!

That's pretty good mileage.
Come back and let us know when you have gone over 500 miles on one tank of gas.
23 gallon tank x 23.5 mpg = 540 miles.
Are you sure your figureing correctly?
If yes, I need to rush out and buy stock in the Sea Foam co.
Good luck in any event..

Good to hear. I had 126K on my last 4.2 when I traded it in for my current. I'm around 110,000 now and still running strong as well.

you know your right last fill I had 124,992.1 miles
Then i filled up again with 125,349.8 miles

thats 358 miles / 23 gallons = 15.5 MPG

Something is wrong with the software program. Sorry for the confusion!

Well dont go out and buy stock in seafoam just yet!!!
