Hey 88f150custom, I was getting about 16.5 mpg coming back from a Maine road trip. I've got a 90 150 2wd 4.9 auto. Course, I'm getting excellent mileage now because my trans took a dump on me last Tuesday. Rebuild tomorrow, woo hoo! Good luck, Peace, Dave.

Well, if a four speed stick, you ain't gonna like the highway milage as theres no OD. Post up the axle code from the door jam sticker and we can give you a better idea.

Yeah 8.8 for sure, but there are four ratio choices and one will give extreme grunt and the other end will give super milage with some in between.
