I have a 2003 Ranger Edge with a 4.0 engine. I'm getting about 20 mpg with it but I'd like to improve on that. Anyone have any suggestions what I can do? I appreciate any help I can get.

 

cold air intake i have a superchips programmer that i put on mine that helped increase my gas mileage if your interested in purchasing

You won't get any better. If you want 20+ buy a 4 banger car

 

x2

I worked mine up ONCE...then stopped. lol (Hint..it wasn't even CLOSE to starting with a 2)

The trucks a truck!

 

what did you get before and after the programmer install

 

Buy a car or a full size

 

its a truck...its gonna be hard on gas...get used to it

 

Run skinny tires,wide ones have more rolling resistance.
Use non-ethanol fuel,if you can find it.

 

^^ Most useless mod anyone can do....

 

That video is hilarious

 

About the only thing you can do is make sure your tire pressure is the maximum listed on the sidewall. If you don't pay attention to rotation however your tires will wear in the middle, some people say it rides rough...whatever, it's a truck deal with it. Eliminate warm up time, eliminate stops on your trips.

 

I'm happy with 17 city and I'd totally be happy getting 20 whether it's or highway.

 

20 is fantastic. If you want better gas mileage do the 'car mod'. It worked great for me. My fuel economy tripled

 

x2. If your seeing 20mpg regularly, you need to tell us some of YOUR secrets.

 

for real, 20 is on the upper end for a pickup. Some folks on here get a little over 20 with regearing and playing with tire size and never pushing rpm over 2500

 

18's my best with oversized tires, Borla muffler and a tune. Whens its cold like it is now I get 15

 

Sometimes I can get into high 19's to 20 if I keep it on about 65 on the interstate for long trips. But most of the times only about 16-17. But like everyone else has said, there is little that can be done for gas mileage when driving a truck.

 

I get 20 all day long even with my 3" BL according to my UltraGauge (awesome little unit BTW. Very happy I got that instead of the scangauge)
Even travelling at 120kms/h (75ish)

 

well i got about 24 highway which i only got about 18 on the highway before that

 

i consistently get around 17mpg. that city/highway combined. just about half of my driving during the week is the highway, (never much over 70mph) and city (usually 55mph)

 

I get 21: half city, half fwy at 75, but I have the 3.08 axle and auto in a 95 supercab with 100k miles. A/C on or off makes no difference.

best I ever got was 28 on a 400 mile trip, doing about 70 the whole way (~2100 rpm)

This is after verifying my odo was not even 1% off using the roadside mile markers to check.

 

2011 4.0 Supercab 4*4. Mixed driving 20 mpg. Driving like a Gma.

 

20MPG is pretty good im happy when i see that on highway trips( i avg 18-19 on the highway)

and i get 13-14 in the city

 

I do almost all highway (55 mph to 75 mph). I just got my Ranger a few days ago and on the second tank of gas I'm averaging about 24-25 mpg on the highway. I keep my scan gauge activated to monitor what I'm getting and it's almost spot on when I have it in my other cars. I have an 4.0L '04 XLT 4x4 with stock tire size (245/75/16, but it has Goodyear Tracker 2 tires). Nothing else is done to the motor or the truck, but I'll see how things go when I change all the fluids and clean out the TB and IAC. I know it's still new and I'm only 1/2 way through my second tank, but I'll keep you all posted on what I get around here.

 

My 93 got 25 on the highway once. I usually get between 18-21 city driving(I usually drive it easy)
