Stock 2003 L - I average a little over 14 MPG in rural driving. The highest I've seen (once) was 16.5 MPG.

Seems I can rarely top 15-16 mpg -and I usually drive like an "old granny!"
Thanks goodness I have my 1994 3 liter 4WD Ranger I use as my daily driver. Gets about 20mpg and the 4WD pulls through the snow just fine.

This weekend I got about 1 MPG. I really didn't check the odometer, but I figure I put about 10 miles on her in two days, mostly stop and go traffic .

If you even have to ask about milage, you don't want a lightning...LOL. I have seen a few posts here lately by folks that are being choked to death buying gas for their Lightnings on a daily driver basis.

I allmost got 20mpg comming back fro ohio last year, actually 19.5 mpg. I can go over 300 miles on a tank.

Do you have a smaller gas tank than the rest of us, or is this some kind of new math?


Now Don...........how much... did you have when you got that 20 MPG. I'm thinking you may have lost track of a fill-up somewhere... .

411 rwhp lucky to get 10 mpg , just too many stop signs , red lights , country roads that need "snakes" painted via Nittos , and WAY to many rice burners that need taught a lesson .

Not to mention how sweet the eaton sounds @ 12 psi whine .
