How many miles on your 2.3
Plugs
wires
TPS sensor
timing belt kit
water pump
fan belt
exhaust work
just to name a few things.
It now has almost 152,000 miles on it and I think it has as much power as it did when it was new. I love my old truck again.
27-28mpg city driving 2.3 with a 5 speed behind it in my 07
29-32 mpg average on highway going 75+ duratech is more efficient in my truck going 75+ than going 65-75.
8k on my 07 I rarely drive it since i got the bike.

My 97 had 122k on it when I sold it in April 08. I hadn't had a minutes trouble out of the truck-the only thing I really did was general maintenance items. It'd get 25-27 MPG normally with the 2.3/5 speed. It was a great truck.
How in the world do you get that good of gas mileage? Also, what is the name of the gadget you got monitoring the gas mileage? I see something "Gauge."
I've got a 2000 XLT 2wd 5 speed man trans with 118,000ish miles.
I don't know what my mpg is but if I had to guess I would say around 23 High Way, witch I believe is quick small amount. I average about 400 miles per tank.

homey 400 per tank is closer to 30 mpg
'96 2.3L, 2WD, just reached 280000 kms (~175000 mi). Owned it 3.5 yrs, put 75000km on it myself. Only issues have been alternator/starter/battery, belt tensioner, fuel tank strap.
I get about 24mpg, mostly highway.
I need to replace plugs/wires. Just bought some new rims (10 hole Explorer wheels) that I'm going to repaint (lots of surface damage but at $60 for the set with tires they're hard to ignore) to replace the little stock 14" rims and tires (maybe up to 31s with a new gears...maybe).

You know I really didn't realize how much power it really had lost until I did a major tune up again.
