I have a 2012 F-150 4x4 with the Ecoboost engine. I get about 16 in town and about 20 to 21 hwy. with the cruise set.

I have a 06 f150 with 33 Toyos on it and I'm getting 13. I haven't changed the fuel filter since I bought it bran new. I gues I need to do that soon. Heck I might even 13.5 after that!

PUREBAY2200 07-12-2012 02:51 PM

one mechanic said i could change out the rear end diff and get a gear ration for my needs.... but the price was unreal..... i wanna say like 3k after parts and labor.....

PUREBAY2200 07-12-2012 02:54 PM

my new toyota tundra has the big v8, loads of power. 18 mpg hwy 16 city. aint towed with it yet. its got 33 in tires and 20 in rims.
my buddy has the same truck , towes a 26 ft wellcraft(8,000 lbs loaded) and he gets 11 mpg @ 65 mph.
so im hoping a 2500-3000 lb bayboat load will give me about 13-14.....

I saw it parked at your house the other day. BLACK????????? Really? Didn't pick you for a truck in black. Good looking truck by the way!

Ford = Fuel. My 2010 drinks the gas but pulls my boat like no other. Makes about 14 and that is a stretch. When I hook the boat to it I do not even check e mileage. Do not want to ruin a good fishing trip. I do have bigger tires and a level kit. My 2002 was the same way. No 4x4 with any power does much on gas milage

i had the same problem on my 04 lariat 5.4. Changed fuel filter and spark plugs. A lot more throttle response and a little better gas mileage. The truck does have 105,000. Was at 13mpg before change now avg 16mpg. I chopped old fuel filter open it was DIRTY

PUREBAY2200 07-12-2012 03:47 PM

"W" I like your taste in trucks. Mine is an 07 with a 5.4. 113K miles and get about 15 mostly city and about 11 towing the boat. Had to get rid of my truck with the 4.6 after I bought the boat. It just wouldn't do it and got about 7 towing.

Man y'all complaining about 13-16 mpg?? When I drove my old '87 Chevy with the 350 it would make 8 on the highway. Talk about I was excited to see my '02 Chevy get double digits (10mpg)!!! Now my '08 Chevy averages 13.5 city and I couldn't be happier. If you want fuel mileage buy a Prius.;) Although when my buddy pulled my boat with his Eco-Boost it made almost 15. I was really impressed with it.

I was getting 13 to 15 mpg when using Kroger and SAMs club fuel in town and 17 to 19 mpg on the highway. I started using the Conoco station around the corner from my house and now I get 15 to 16 mpg in the city and 20 to 21 mpg on the highway

PUREBAY2200 07-12-2012 08:01 PM

Towing power of a V8; mpg of a V6.
