#55 of 134 Re: 2002 F250 Crew 5.4 gas mileage?? [lawnboy2] by wpalkowski Oct 24, 2005 (5:59 am)
Replying to: lawnboy2 (Oct 23, 2005 7:22 pm) You don't say whether it's 2x4 or 4x4, what type of transmission it has, or what the axle ratio is - 3.73 or 4.10. They make for a bit of a mileage difference - 4x2, 4.10 axle, manual tranny would be best; 4x4, auto, with the 3.73 will be the worst mileage. I'd say you could be anywhere from 7-10 mpg. My F350 CC, Long Bed, 4x4, auto, V10 - pulling 7600 lbs, only gets about 6 mpg in the city,and around 9-10 mpg on the highway - but I don't tow every day.   Superduty crew cab is a big beast and mileage isn't that great because the 5.4 has to work to get things moving. Pulling a trailer with it in the city, and you probably won't be getting much better mileage than the chevy diesel. You might also find the Ford a bit underpowered pulling a load in comparison to the diesel. Best power with the 5.4L is to have the 4.10 gears, also puts it preferred power band and gives best mileage.

Does anyone have any MPG #'s for the 4.2L? Replies to this message: v6f150tdigolf (Jul 05, 2006 11:42 am) uga91 (Jul 06, 2006 12:31 pm)

I have been getting about 13.5-14.5 mpg in town with the air running and 18-19 on the highway running about 75 mph. This is in line with the window sticker and what I was expecting to get when I bought the truck.
#58 of 134 4.6 vs 5.4 by creisol Jul 03, 2006 (9:14 am)
How do these compare in terms of gas mileage. 2wd preferably.

Replying to: creisol (Jun 25, 2006 10:05 pm) I have a 4.2L XL, 2wd, 8ft bed with an automatic and 3.55 gears in an open diff. Interstate travel with no load returns about 19MPG, that's between 70-75mph. Keep it under 65 and it gets 20mpg. With the bed at max payload (maybe overloaded) it can go as low as 15-16 in town.   Daily driving 80%hwy 20%town always gives us 19.5mpg. The only modification is Mobile One synthetic oil. I only rev the engine up when racing off a stoplight, otherwise it stays in overdrive, but I don't drive slow, just steady. Replies to this message: uga91 (Jul 06, 2006 12:31 pm)

Replying to: v6f150tdigolf (Jul 05, 2006 11:42 am) That's interesting. I drive a SuperCrew with the 5.4L V8 and get just about the same mileage as you. My city driving usually runs about 14 with the air on, but that's about it.
#61 of 134 F-350 Fuel mileage by samualmac Jul 09, 2006 (10:11 pm)
I'm in the market for a 2005 or 2006 crew cab F-350 with the 6.0 diesel with automatic. I would like to hear some real world fuel mileages with both 2WD and 4X4. I would also like to know if the 3.73 rear end will do substantially better than the 4.10. Please respond if you have any words of wisdom. Thanks
#62 of 134 Re: '04 F150 4.6L [aspesisteve] by uchman Jul 11, 2006 (1:53 pm)
Replying to: aspesisteve (Jan 13, 2005 5:15 pm) I have an F-150, Auto Trans, Short Bed, Standard Cab. Tire pressure is right on, air filter clean, spark plugs changed and I even am running true dual exhaust. Also change the oil about 2 to 3 thousands miles intervals.   Within the first 6 months it got on the e-way about 21 MPG. Now, at 73,000 I can hardly get 17 MPG.   Looking for a solution.......found any? Replies to this message: kcram (Jul 11, 2006 5:12 pm) passat_2002 (Jul 16, 2006 7:37 am)

Replying to: uchman (Jul 11, 2006 1:53 pm) After all that, I would suspect the trans. A good flush, band adjustment, and trans filter change should give you back an mpg or 2.   kcram - Pickups Host

Replying to: uchman (Jul 11, 2006 1:53 pm) Or it could easily be attributed to the changeover to a 10% Ethanol mix that has replaced the MTBE additive. Everybody's getting fewer miles per gallon these days.. no matter what you drive.
