PS. My measurements were during periods where I was driving conservative. It isn't hard to get 8MPG and thats usually about how I drive.

I'm a BMW M5 lover stuck in a F150 world.

My last tank full ran at 9 mpg. But that probubly had more to do with the plow on the front of the truck than anything else.

Usually in the low to mid 14s otherwise.

Oh, it's a 98 XLT supercab shortbox 4x4 w/ 4.6 auto

The worst I got was 15.5 MPG. That was my last tank when I was heavy on the gas( raced a friend on the interstate for about 10 miles at 100+) btw beat his 1990 chevy. I avg. about 17 or so.

22 on the higway with 33's and 3.55 gears. Good gas mileage, but sucks at low end tourqe.

B-Man 12-09-2004 08:06 PM

33's with 3.55 gears isn't helping your low end torque any.

You should consider a steeper rear end gear...

97 4.6 33's new magnaflow exhaust, mac intake ,roll n lock bed cover, 138k miles. The best I have seen from my truck on the hiway is 12.5 to 13.5 and around town is 10 to 11. Around town I have a heavy foot(new exhaust is begging me to get on it) .:devil:

Best Highway MPG - about 19 mpg (400 mile drive) - summer blend 87 octane

Average MPG - about 50/50 highway and city - summer blend 87 octane - 14.5 mpg

Average MPG - about 50/50 highway and city - winter blend 87 octane - 12.5 mpg

City driving - don't know but I suspect 13 mpg or less

10 year old thread and the mileage really hasn't changed on them....unless they're being poorly maintained
