I drive like the ole guy that I am, well in the truck. Really using the a/c hauling around my 4 yr old grandson with the outside temp over 100 every day the past week. Its unbearable - heat killed my battery, hoping Ford helps some with the cost of the new one purchased after Ford dealer was closed - truck has about 1 year left on factory warranty. Supposed to be a break tomorrow, only around 95.

 

with a top speed of 55 haha

 

I get all the way up to 63 or so on the way to work, really smok'n it!

 

I;ve been getting around 18 - 18.5 here lately with the 110+ heat index... it was 116* yesterday...

 

21-22 around town with little to no freeway driving... Heading up north last time I got 24 pulling my row boat and loaded with a weeks worth of food and cloths...

 

About the same here, its miserable outside! No telling what the truck is getting with a/c blasting carrying the grandson around from toy store to toy store. On top of that the refrigerator in the house went out last night. You ever done comparison shopping for one with a 4 year old? Toy store, toy store, we are going to the toy store worked pretty well!

 

161 miles on 15.001 gallons of 93 octane......ouch

10.73 mpg this week

 

I could not handle that! This OUCH is for you!

A turd that gets 20+ MPG.

I had to throw that in


I get a pretty constant 23 MPG

 

I average 14.5 MPG :( but I got an extra 800 pounds to carry around...

 

got 19 this past tank so im pleased

 

My turd will outrun yours and then run it over

 

Well, just got another fillup(twice in three days). I had to run my mom to a freakin hospital 60 miles away last night to see my stupid sister.

12.054 gallons in 162 miles

13.44!! wo0t!

I had to drive civil as momma was in the passenger seat

 

Only if you can catch my 2wd turd!

 

He'll run out of gas first.

 

Too funny, you are right! Makes me think I must have a 4 cyl. under the hood compared to his mileage!

 

The 3.0's acceleration fooled me into thinking it was a 4cyl

 

Okay i'll play, 18 to 19 mpg so over 300 miles with a 21 gallon tank.
Waiting to see what it is now that I rebuilt the driveline...

Ne one wanna race?

 

my truck was rated to get 19mpg stock, and since ive put on exhaust, intake, pulleys etc im pushin bout 21ish.... i got about 120 miles in 5.5 gallons last time i checked it =0

 

22 mpg from Virginia back to Michigan and I was hauling @##. Now that I'm back with mixed city I am hitting 19-21 mpg. 2004 3.0 stock with topper.

 

I need a nice topper, mine's big and ugly and green... haha, but I got it for free... it was made for a Jeep Comanche lol.

 

Alright, I drove from Crestview, FL to Slidell, LA this past weekend and made 20.4 mpg @ 65mph and with A/C the whole time without my topper!

Then we went up to New Orleans (Bourban St. FTW) and gassed up again in Pensacola and got 19.4mpg mosty Highway @ 65mph with A/C the whole time.

 

New engine I had put in my truck that has 30k on it I took I forgot what the milage and the division I did but I got roughly 22mpg on the highway going about 65-75.

I was shocked truck never used to do that good. Now driving it around city thats a different story Im prob around 15mpg and thats with a light foot.

 

Im getting like 200 miles to tank, 03 edge stepside, not sure about the tank size.. is this normal? I feel like my gas gauge goes down sooo fast! Its like $35 to fill it up, and I get 200 miles outa it and its $2.73 a gallon here so that means my tank is like 12 or 13 gallon tank? So 200 miles for that on a 3.0?

 

I get alittle more than 200 miles to a tank on 35's and stock gearing with a 17gallon tank I believe.
