fuel mileage - whats your F150 get?
 

Our 06 f150 gets around 18mpg on freeway , Just wondering what the rest of you are getting ,Our truck is stock no hop ups , We have about 60k on it also ,Hope this helps ,So if I can get better mileage,without buying a ton of stuff, Robert

I think I get 12, but mine is a 1990, I would hope a newer truck would be a little better.

IMO 18 is pretty good if you ask me. I never got over 16 stock or modified. How fast do you travel?

I'm getting between 15MPG and 16MPG combination highway/city driving with my '05

I haven't figured it out yet, I'll fill up later today and have an answer for you. I really don't want to see how bad it is lol.

My all time worst was just over 10mpg, last fill up. 95% in town, short trips, not letting it warm up all the way, winter gas, etc.

Generally 12-13. If it's all highway, 14ish.

I get about 16-18 mpg. I basically fill up once a week.

Sounds like me. I'm gettin 15 in city, and have gotten 17 on highway.

We took ours back to dealer and had them check it last year they said there puter said that ours 19.3 well the best we have seen is 18 ,wife drives most the time she has a lighter foot than me but she runs the speed limit,,Robert

i get between 14-15 doing 110 km/h (68 mph)

I get 14 city and 16-17 highway

Well, I figured out my last tank... 18.1L/100km. Not sure what that works out to be in MGP, but I really don't want to know either lol.

Sean

12.9MPG

In the city 15 on the freeway 18 to 20

Do you have any mods or stock ,,Robert ,,,,,tell us your secret ......:sign0184::sign0184:

Yea, didn't want to lol. Oh well, there was lots of idling and short trips around town on that tank.

Sean

Does it make you guys jealous I get 13+ MPG in the city hauling 2,500 lbs. with a 6.7L diesel? Haha, it's surprising how heavy F-150's are.

what diesel? i didnt see any diesel at your place when i came in november, unless this is a more recent endevor

Not when I look at the price tag for that truck :cheeky4:

It was there. Parked in front by the street. :laugh:

Or the maintenance costs. Luckily I don't pay for either. It's my work vehicle. I don't have a typical marked car.

I consistently get around 13-14 mpg, no matter what type of driving I'm doing

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one lol.

Sean

Yeah, im sure i get around 15 TOPS usually. probably less, although when i was back in Florida and was driving 25 miles to work every day all highway, i got a little over 500 miles to one tank.. That was the only time i have been able to do that.. Ill see what I get in August when I get back from afghanistan and drive thet ruck from Iowa to Florida. should get pretty good.. although the 35's arnt going to help haha.. maybe the custom tunes from PHP will though?!

I get about 16 in mine. 06 4.6 screw 4x4

500 miles from a tank?! I couldn't even get 500km out of my last tank lol.

Sean

What tank do you have? I can get around 500 with the 35.4 gallon tank

not sure what size my tank is.. Its the reallye xpensive one to fill up that never seems to fill up haha

Most I've ever gotten is like 420ish, I can put in almost 30 gallons when the low fuel message is on.

yeah, i remember the first time i drove to florida from iowa, I seemed to get really good mileage.. anywheres from 400-480ish a tank.. July I drove my truck back up to Iowa I had the truck full with stuff, and was pulling a uhaul trailer.. Yeah, didnt get more than 350 per tank lol.

This is one thing i have checked.I have never let it go past 1/2 tank.....cause i DO NOT want to know how much it will cost to fill from empty,seeing it cost me roughly 60 bucks,depending on the day of the price,to fill it from half to full!!!!
But i average close to 150 kilometers on a half a tank in my '06 F-150.

You do know it doesn't matter if you fill up half a tank or a full tank, your still using the same amount of fuel? Ouch to 150km to a half tank. I get almost 300, I think you may need to look into a tuneup, thats some pretty crappy mileage

I would actually imagine you would use more fuel since its hauling more weight. Its probably minuscule though. I do understand the reasoning behind it though

Haha good point. I get the reasoning too.

Really!!I was in at the dealer on Friday to get my F-150 flashed as i added cruse control as it didn't come with it,and my buddy said that my truck has'nt had the lastest updates done to it,so he did it while we were already plugged in.I always thought it was hard on fuel considering my '98 F-150 extended cab STX with the 4.6,and 4 speed auto got close to 600 kilometers to a tank,but this '06 really made me wonder?!!?
But anyways,i fill her up weekly regardless if i use a quarter tank or half.Undr half scares me LOL!!

hopefully the new updates helps her get a lil better mileage! one thing that makes a huge difference is air pressure.. Blew my mind how much the air pressure in your tires will throw off the mileage

Haha aint that the truth. I actually watched the mythbusters episode today where they checked out tire pressure vs fuel efficiency. Inflating your tires 15% over mfg recommended spec got something like 5 or 6% better. Underinflating by the same was about 4 or 5% worse. It made more of a difference than I thought it would

Oh wow, didn't know it would tamper with gas mileage that bad. I'm gettin out there now and checkin mine ha.

My truck has the 30 gallon tank, when I filled her up she hasn't taken more than 88-90 litres, which is roughly 26 gallons. That would leave about 4 gallons when the low fuel light came on.

Maybe I'll have to check my air pressures, I've been getting about 250-280km to a half tank.

Sean

According to my gryphon cs I get 17.4 average city
