From some of you F150 5.4 V8 4WD owners, what is your real world gas mileage? I'm in the market seriously for a new pickup. I don't expect econ class car mileage but want to get away fm
11 mpg that I've been suffering for 14 yrs with my Dodge W250
4WD. Thanks Ray

 

I have been averaging 14 in town 17 highway

 

I've almost got 600 miles on the odometer so far, and I fill up every weekend. My wife drives a 26 mile round trip to work. Her commute is 13 miles down hill, then 13 miles back up in the evening. The first to fills averaged 12.5 and 12.7 mpg. Today's fill came up with a 13.2. It's getting better every week.

 

After break-in, I am getting about 14.2 pretty consistently with mostly city driving. Thats running oxygenated fuel which is required along the front range during winter. My experience has been about .5 mpg less with it than the summer fuels.

 

Neil, Is your wife's driving mostly highway or more citified ?
Blitz, guess you noted that I am also front range CO Thanks Ray

 

I'm getting between 14 and 15 around town. Yesterday I took a 250 mile trip (all highway) and averaged 18.6.

5.4L 4x4 3.73LS

 

14 for mostly in town; 15-16 in normal traffic coming to work; 17-18 on the highway.

If the hints on the board are correct, wait for the '05 with 5 speed automatic.

Hints also include a more powerful 4.6 - but if they do that won't they also increase the power of the 5.4?

 

My truck is 5.4L 3v, 4x4, 3.73 LSD, Lariat Supercrew (no performance mods)

At 5200 miles, mixed driving:

Avg mpg since purchase: 14.37
Best tank mpg: 16.65
Worst tank mpg: 12.35

Mileage seems to be improving slightly over the past couple of fill-ups (I think the warmer weather helps).

 

14.5mpg and I have 3800 miles

 

Ray, that is about 40/60- highway/city driving. I expect the MPG will continue to improve as things loosen up a bit.

 

2004 Screw 4x4 w/Leer 700 Tonneau cover.
3100 total miles (2 months old)
Computer currently shows overall avg. = 16.7.
Best highway tank: 18.2.
Best city tank: 14.3

 

1st tank 13.1, 7th tank (last night) 14.5! Mixed highway/city with a pretty heavy foot. I don't expect it to get any better with the way that I drive.

 

I'm getting 13.3 mpg with 1300 miles on the truck now. That is based on almost no highway miles and all short trips, with each trip ending with a half mile trip up a dirt/mud road to my house. Dragging a 6000 lb truck uphill is a killer on gas mileage. Chances are that everyone else, with more normal circumstances, will see better mileage.

 

I've got 1300 miles on the truck. Best tank was 15.7, worst was 14.3. Pretty much mixed driving, with a slight edge to freeway.

XLT 4X4 SCab, 3.73 ls

 

I wish I was getting some of the mileages you guys are listing.

12-13 for me. 6,000 miles.
