Fuel mileage

I own a 2005 Ford Ranger edge 4 x 2. 3.0 V6 with 98,000 miles. Why and should I get better than 13 miles per gallon?

By 98k, there's a lot of scheduled maintenance that could have been overlooked.Also, driving habits and carrying loads will affect mileage.

Fuel mileage

I bought this truck two years ago. And I am very **** on how I take care of my vehicles. I gave it a complete makeover maintenance. Wise changed all the fluids tuned up the entire motor. The only thing I Hall in this thing is the bed liner in the bed. It is just hard on fuel, plain and simple.

Well then... if you've restored everything back to factory condition, then you're stuck with 13 MPG.
