I drive a 98 Ranger XL Splash, 4cyl 2.5L ,5spd. It has new plugs and wires, new air and oil filter. Only 100,000 KM on the engine and has had Synthetic since new. I'm only getting about 300 K to a 85$ tank of gas (1.34$/L). Where abouts would you guys look for issues and how could i improve the mileage.

 

how many km to a mile?

 

there's about 1.61 km to a mile if i remember correctly, but i may be wrong, i go by miles

 

Sorry guys, i'm Canadian lol. With it being 300 kms to a 75L tank that would be 4kms a Litre which is 2.48 Miles a Litre and there are 3.78 Litres in a gallon soooo...... 2.48 Miles a Gallon?

 

Or 9.7 Miles a Gallon

 

there's .62 miles in a kilometer, but 9.7 mpg don't sound right.

 

fuel leak?

 

No smell though? Any other suggestions?

 

11.3mpg... check 02 sensors, mafs, air filter. Is there any power loss??

 

^^recalculate??lol

 

good idea!

 

Did I calculate wrong? I'm no good at math anyways hah. What the H is a mafs?

 

I think they were talking about me. But I'm not wrong.. to figure out mpg's from metric take your km's driven and divide by litres used then multiply by 2.82 to get miles per gallon. so.... 300/75= 4. 4*2.82= 11.28mpg.

 

mafs is your mass air flow sensor.. do you run a k+n air filter??

 

No it's just stock. The whole truck is stock. For now.

 

im having this same problem, ive used up 1/4 of a tank and ive gone only 45 miles, does that sound right?!

 

nope. i usually get 75+

 

How do i find out what is the cause of my crappy gas mileage?!

 

Miscalculation. how many miles(or km). It's amazing what plugs, an oil change, new air filter, and fuel filter does.
