Aren't you mixing Kilometers and Miles at your convienence?

You people can type till your blue in the fingers, I'm still smellin' feet here.

If you ever, ever got 26 mpg in an F150,
some men in black suits would be knocking on your door.
They would be from the Ford Motor Company.

I'm sure it can be contributed to a lot of different things, but since my driving habits rarely vary, I figure that's the best explanation for the difference. That's my story...and I'm stickin' to it. And I have seen 19.2 on a long trip...once. I still think my wife mis-wrote the mileage on the pad at the gas station though.

I would say theres a good chance that two of the stations are selling an ethanol blend, the other is not. 2 mpg would be about right for the loss. With blends I usually see a 1-1.5mpg loss, but I'm only getting 15ish normally.

Raoul,

Change your socks and the smell will go away.

FYI I got about 14 mpg ( US gal not IMP) at about 80 mph. For my rig I figure that it is prety good. My top speed and MPG went to hell with the 3" lift.
