What do you guys think is causing that? It's completely stock and I shift between 2500-3000. I don't have a heavy foot either. The only thing i can think of is I have a crack in my exhaust pipe in between my cat and glass pack. It's about 8" long... I don't see how that could cause me to get that bad of gas mileage though...

 

anyone?

 

I Have A Simliar Problem. I Get About 12-14 Mpg City And 15-17 Highway. I Have A 2000 Ranger With A 3.0 4x4 5 Spd 112k Miles. Flowmaster Dual Exhaust With K&n.
Anyone Know Why Such Bad Gas Mileage?

 

My 14mpg is probably 3/4 highway to.... I wonder where everyone is..

 

that sucks is all i can say, maybe a tune up is in order, i just drove 500miles to ny with my truck on 35's and 4.10's auto and i was getting 16mpg......

 

Idk, that's kinda what I thought. That and fix my exhaust. What all exactly shouldyou do for a tune-up?

 

Im getting that with a lift and 33's

 

eh I'm getting that stock =(

 

old ranger?

 

no it says in his signature its an 06, must have a case of heavy foot, hell idk what everything in a tune up would consist of, i changed out my plugs and wires, fuel filter, cleaned my air filter and changed the oil and i considered that a "mini tune-up", you could flush all your fluids as well and that may help, i flushed my radiator and my truck felt like a champ afterwards......

 

i have a 1994 3.0 stick super cab 4x4 with 163,000 and went 190 miles and filled back up 10.25 gallons....comes out to alittle over 18 miles per gallon city and highway combined.

 

no, I meant for the original poster, who has a '92

I figure any older vehicle will get worse gas mileage than a newer one.

 

maybe, could be a number of different things that play into the mpg........ive got 135k on my truck and it still runs top and get good mpg's

 

Yeah, 160k here but still runs good.

 

The 3.0 is fuel injected isnt it? Probably a bad o2 sensor if so.

 

Dont forget to check your tire pressure. That can make a big diffrence.

 

i get about 16.5 with daily 90% city/10% highway driving, and i have a 2wd 3.0 with 30" tires. (stockers were 26~ish, i believe)

 

there isnt to many engines out there now adays that arnt fuel injected......

 

Mine aint! Never will be either.

I just wasnt sure if they had all gone fuel injected by that time or not.

 

i have the same prop on my truck , i have a 99 with onyl 75k on her and its been getting about 11-13 hwy miles since i have owned her and i have done the complete mini tune up and every thing also the os, any other ideas on how to fix

 

god damn man, trade it in..........thats awful, is it all stock?????

 

ok...on my last tank I got ~16.3mpg (50/50, city/highway) on my '91 2wd 3.0. So aren't all of our gen2 3.0's pretty bad on gas mileage to begin with?

 

idk but 16.3 with half and half driving isnt bad.....

 

I think its how people are calculating their gas milage. I never fill up my tank all the way so I don't know hwo bad mine is.

 

Doesn't your CEL come on if you have a bad o2 sensor?
