What else is there to do?
I just got my O2 sensors, spark plugs, and spark plug wires all replaced. I ran my first full tank after doing that. I thought that by doing all that my mpg would have to go up, but I'm still getting about 200 miles to the tank all city and thats driving soft. I replaced my oil at the end of may, I cleaned my K&N intake filter about a month ago I got a gibson exhaust, lots of airflow. What else is their to do to get better mpg?

Also, you must take into account that he has the OHV 4.0 not the SOHC 4.0 that the newer trucks have. From everything I've read they typically get worse gas mileage than the SOHC counterpart. Don't feel bad that you're only getting 200 miles a tank. I usually fill up around 1/4 tank left and have about 215 miles. That's with the 3.0.
Unfortunately you've done most of what you can.

twice a week I got mowing equipment in my bed but its just a push mower a blower a weed wacker and 3.5 gallons of gas. It all really doesn't weigh that much.

ok....
2000 ranger. 4.0L OHV auto, Live axle, 4x4....
just got 17.8mpg all city..
something like 250-260 to a "tank" i don't really remember to be honest, could care less what the "tank" miles are more the MPG at the end..
and that's compensated for the larger tires btw...
ok whats new..
fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, wires... hmm that should be about it on the "MPG savers" tons of other maintness tho...
