What is the average gas mileage for an '06 Supercab 4x4 with a 5.4?

Im real close to buying one and just wanted to see how bad its gonna be on gas.

Anybody think Im nuts for trading in a car that gets 30+ mpg for a truck that probably gets half that?

 

All I can tell you is, my 05 Supercrew 2wd with 3.55LS I get around 11.5-12.5 city.. And about 15-16 highway.

 

Depends on how much city vs. highway driving you do.

On a stock 4x4 I'd expect around 14-15 in the city and 18 or so on the highway.

Not crazy at all, these trucks are wonderful!

Edited to Add: Dang bigdog, I get 11-12 in the city and 15+ on the highway... and I've got 20" wheels and 35" tires! I've got 3.73 gears though.

 

Yeah, I don't know what the hell is up with my truck .

 

My '04 5.4L with 3.73s, 255/70/17s and a magnaflow exhaust gets 15 - 16.2mpg average, 18.4 highway.

He said Supercab, and he wont tromp the gas all the time like you

 

I average about 14-16 in my 08 Screw FX4 with mostly city driving, so I'm sure the mileage will be about the same if not a litte better.

And no your not crazy for trading in a +30 mpg car for truck.

 

That kind of mileage doesnt seem too bad. It seems like what my brother gets with his '01 regular cab 4x4 with a 4.6.

This truck is totally stock and I intend to keep it that way. I really dont like modding a daily driver.

I drive mainly highway with some city mixed in. I drive about 325-350 miles a week. Work is 23 miles away.

I thought I was a little nuts because Im cutting the mileage in half but still driving the same distance.

A truck will be better for getting my quad places and I can tow my Mustang with it. I can tow my quad around with my Elantra but not my Mustang.

 

Well definately get rid of that Hyundai, yucky. Blue Oval! Don't worry about my trucks gas mileage(it's a hybrid )

 

1m getting 12.3 right now and last week i drove from el paso (7hrs) and only got 15 what is up

 

In all honesty its been a great car since I bought it new in '05 but Ive been wanting a truck lately. I kinda miss having one and it sucks having to borrow one of my brothers' trucks when I need one.

 

Haha yeah man, I hear ya, now's a good time. I'll give you this tid bit, Just know, gas prices are GOING to go back up. Just know that going into buying it though.

 

Yeah, the prices went up about 30 cents in the past few weeks here. Still better than $4 a gallon though but we'll probably see that again.

 

Wow, that's terrible. May I ask what engine size?

 

My bone stock 4X4 gets 13-14 around town and 18-19 on trips.

 

5.4l baby lol
