WOW...I thought I drove like an *** sometimes but I guess not...all winter the lowest MPG I saw was 14 or so...and now I've been getting between 17-18 MPG...I definitely keep track of that and am intimately familiar with gas stations...I've had my Ranger for 1 year and 3 weeks and I'll turn 25,000 miles tomorrow.

From the information pages from the Ford dealership for all 2001 + 2002 Rangers that my dad and I picked up from the dealership while shopping for Rangers. Has all available options, packages and trim levels and what they can be equipt with...
Rangers with Flareside - 16.5 gallon tank in all trims.
Rangers with Fleetside - 19.5 gallon tank in all except for regular cab short beds, they get a 16.5. Regular cab long beds get a 20 gallon.
Those are from the print outs for those two specific years. While we were looking at a green xlt with a flareside the guy said the tank was smaller because of the bed slanting inwards. I remember this because my dad said a near 20 gallon tank seemed too small in a truck and the guy corrected him saying it was only 16.5 with the flareside.
Unless there is a special option to get a 19.5 gallon put in someway, it's 16.5. In a Ford bulliten I remember reading they said that all the tanks will be the same in upcoming years because they deleted the flareside. This was part of the STX intro.

My '00 4.0L OHV 4 DR with 4WD and 5 speed came with a 19.5 gallon gas tank.
Performed the following modifications:
Gibson catback exhaust, K&N FIPK Gen II, Taylor 8mm Spiro Pro sparkplug wires, BBK 66mm TB, Bama Program and changing the engine, differentials, and transmission to synthetic lubricants. Still saving my $$$ for a set of JBA headers.
My gas mileage varies 17-20 Hwy and 12-14 city.
My goal is to get 22 mpg which should be possible.
Generally I shift by or at 3000 RPMs which may be why my mileage suffers.....
OR 4x4
