WITH ABOUT 1,400 MILES ON MY 04 FX4 SCAB I AM GETTING ABOUT 13.9 MPG WITH A MIXTURE OF HIGHWAY & LIGHT CITY DRIVING, I'M DEFINATLY NOT HEAVY ON THE THROTTLE, BUT I'M HPING THIS GETS A LITTLE BETTER AS THE MOTOR BREAKS IN ALL THE WAY. WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFO ....COMMENTS
THANKS |
I am at 2800 miles and averaging around 14.5 in the same driving conditions as yourself. As I am tracking my milage as I go along I have noticed a very slight improvement average, but only .2 or .3 mpg since I crested the 1000 mile mark.
|
THANK'S, AFTER 3 OR 4 THOUSAND MILES I PLAN TO GO TO A DIFFERENT AIR INTAKE SYSTEM, EXHAUST & MAY BE SOME REPROGRAMING HOPEFULLY I'LL GET BETTER ALL AROUND PERFORMANCE, REGARDLESS I LOVE THIS TRUCK!!
|
Same here with the driving conditions, I have 1600 miles and get about 13.2 mpg. So I too hope it improves with time. Keep us posted if your air intake and other mods improve your mileage.

HAS ANYONE ELSE CHECKED THERE MPG?
|
between 14.7 and 15.2 depends on city and highway
|
My mileage is climbing, up to 12.0 at this point. Bear in mind that it's all short trips and every one of them ends with a half mile climb up a muddy road to my house. When I reset the computer after a fill-up, it reads as high as 22 mpg cruising along at 40 mph on a flat road. I haven't had a chance to do any extended highway driving to get a feel for how it would do there.
|
I've got a reg cab 5.4 2WD and average 15.5 with a high of 16.5 in mostly combino city/hwy at 2850 miles.

under 11 here, with some highway miles as well---very disgusted--no where near where they predict---have had two tanks now, and both under 11----I dont rev up at every take off, drive easy---on interstate I will ride 77-80, but drive smooth------hope it will change------love this truck though----great ride!

AVERAGING 13.8-14.2 MPG MOSTLY SHORT TRIPS WITH SEVERAL TRAFFIC LIGHTS.SAME TYPE OF DRIVING FILLED UP AT A DIFFERENT SERVICE STATION AND AVERAGED 15.2.
04 LARIAT SCREW 4X4 |
About 12 mpg pulling my boat, 13-15 otherwise. I don't look for it to improve. I got 4800 miles on my truck and my last ford wasn't this good. I didn't buy it for the gas mileage anyway....:D

Here's my breakdown with my '04 Lariat SuperCab 4x4
1) 15.29 (426.0 miles / 27.87 gal) 2) 13.29 (305.4 miles / 22.97 gal) 3) 15.38 (498.6 miles / 32.41 gal) Overall, I'm at 14.77 with a good mix of city and highway driving and a few warm-ups in between. Given the winter fuel, combination of highway/city driving and several warm-ups, I'm satisfied with my average MPG. Hope this helps, E |
