gas milage on a 3.0
gas milage on a 3.0
im looking at a new 07 ranger sport single cab with a 5spd and somone told me that he got 13-15mpg in his and im just wandering what you all get, the truck im lookin at has 4.10's and 235/75 tires. i do about half and half of city and highway driving and i live in houston so i will prety much be using the a/c all the time
With a light foot, stock tires, 50/50 city/hwy, and the AC always on you should get 16mpg. The 5 speed and regular cab will help with that extra mpg or two
edit: mmm after reading the link Jeff posted it seems you may even get better
