#120 of 123 4.6 mileage by laci73 Jun 03, 2008 (8:28 pm)
Replying to: 22k2 (May 23, 2008 6:43 pm) 04 f150 4x4 supercab. smaller V8, got it 2 month ago, 170 000kms on it. Rear end is 3.73.Tires 265/70 r 17 BFG AT.Driving to work and for fun( fishing, exploring country) I'm averaging 13-14 litres per 100 km's.combine driving city-hwy -gravel roads. I did 1000 kms trip in the mountains last weekend, at one tank. 135 litres tank and still some gas left. the key is keep rpm less than 2000, even in the city. Have no upgrades, stock vehicle. just my rear end is bit of whining, when under a load or accelerating. I changed gear oil for full synthetic 75W-90, but did not help at all.
#121 of 123 1998 ford f-150 extended cab 5.4 liter mpg by titaneese Jun 12, 2008 (6:31 pm)
I owned a 1998 ford f-150 extended cab 5.4 liter and drove it for 10 years. I thoroughly checked the mileage over time and without the A/C it would get 13.5 mpg in the city absolutely babying that thing. I did not do enough highway driving to comment on that. My new truck is a Toyota Tacoma 16.68 mpg city. My two complaints with the ford, poor mpg and my service experience was b/s. I realised after the way Ford treated me that they did not care at all that I was loyal to their brand. they were more interested in how much they could take advantage of me and get all they could as far as service $$$$$$$$$$. Sorry ford but I have a 67 mustang, a 66 ford truck & now a Lexus and a Toyota truck in my garage. I am done with your b/s.
#122 of 123 2007 F350 DRW 6.0 PSD Crew Cab by uptickguru Jul 28, 2008 (12:43 pm)
I own a 2007 King Ranch F350 Dually with every option short of a sun roof. I am getting around 17-19 on the highway unloaded, 12-13 pulling my tractor appx 9000 lbs, and about 12-14 in the city. I don't drive like grandma but I don't race bmw's either though I think this thing could probably take a few of them.   Have been looking into adding cold air intake and possibly big exhaust for added MPG. Don't need anymore power as this thing will pull a tree outta the ground. Have talked to Banks and it's a pricey $1300 upgrade. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with this? I don't want to go missing with it too much cause of the warranty on the powertrain is 100K which I think is pretty good. Any Pro's and Con's. I don't trust talking to these equipment reps cause they mostly want to sell you this stuff and could care less about your warranty.         I'm trying to get a call in to talk to a few Ford Diesel guys. Would appreciate any opinions or experiences with Banks or any other reputable diesel performance houses. Replies to this message: 96ford (Aug 27, 2008 1:14 pm)

Replying to: uptickguru (Jul 28, 2008 12:43 pm) What Gear Ratio do you have? What is your RPM at 70 MPH? I am considering buying a F350 4WD with a 4.3 ratio. I'm afraid of bad mileage and have found that it will cost $2500 to change the ratio to a more reasonable 3.73
