I was wondering what other's with trucks similar to mine are getting for MPG? I have a 96 SuperCab 4x4 XLT, 5.0/4R70W with 3.55 gears and a towing package. I'm getting about 16MPG (13.08 to a US gallon). My driving is a mix of city, freeway and country roads. The average speed would be about 45mph I would think. I could get 13MPG (10.82 to a US gallon) from my 88 F150, 2wd with a EFI 5.0/C6 combo, 3.08 gears. I know my 96 is heavier but it also has OD. I've changed the plugs (Autolites), wires (Ford Racing 9mm) and air filter to a K/N cone type and tt's got 235/75/15 Goodyear Wranglers on it.

On the last dual tank fillup it took $108CDN, at $1.109 per liter and I had driven 550KM. Most of it was on country roads with speeds about 45mph.

 

I get about 15 MPG in a '95 4X4 SC 5.8L

 

I replied to this one over at FTE. Hope it helped.

 

4.10s, 18mpg, see sig.

 

Numbers sound about right. These things are heavy and as aero as a brick.

greeny, no offense but we have essentially the same truck, any advantage you have with the manual is negated by the lower gears, so you must be driving downhill with a tail wind :P

 

Thats kind of what I was thinking about your post. I have a '94 4x4 sc 5.8l and I get 11 at best. I also have 31" tires.
What are you doing to get that? What size tires do you have?
