Got 19.5 MPG last tank.
I only get around 14 MPG most of the time due to the fact that I drive .5 miles to work everyday. My engine never fully warms up and we all know short drives kill mileage.
Went on a big road trip this weekend. I filled up and dumped in a bottle of Lucus Fuel Treatment and took off. Filled up when I got home and it figured to 19.5 MPG.
I hope with an E-fan and maybe some other stuff to get 20 MPG, which is were I would like it to be.
I feel my exhaust did pick up a few horses and alittle milage.

I'm getting a pretty steady 21.5 and on depending on the day and where I get my gas I get upwards of 22.5. I was getting 18.5-20 MPG then I changed motor and tranny over to Amsoil that was the biggest help.
I have a ~36 mile drive to work with 2/3's of it highway and the other city/country. I figure it with the calc also.....

what's the proper way to figure mileage?
here's how I do it.
-Fill up tank
-Note how many gallons it took to fill
-Reset odometer
-Drive till close too empty
-Note mileage on odometer
-divide mileage on odometer by gallons it took to fill up tank
Is this correct or am I missing something here? -Mike-

From reading the posts concerning the topic of MPG; the stock 4.0L SOHC appears to get better gas mileage than the OHV by at least 4 mpg. The 4x2 appears to get about 2-3 mpg more than the 4x4 version.
The previous post states a average of 25.6 mpg.... Even with all the modifications I have done to my '00 Ranger 4.0L 4x4 5 spd; the best I have received is 19 mpg....
Maybe if I do the E-fan installation.... I might break 20 mpg, but I suspect the electric fan running will create MORE interference with my HF radio that I already have with the fuel pump running and the ignition...
Reducing the RF interference has been an on going project with small improvements...
Fords are NOTORIOUS for vehicle RF interference !!!!
Anyone have experience with the electric fan creating more RF interference problems ???
How much of an increase in MPG have you received after the electric fan installation ???
OR 4x4

The way you described is not accurate because it can vary greatly on what is used and what the gauge shows just from the angle the truck is sitting on.
