Ford Gas Mileage
 

I have an 06 F140 with a 5.4 2WD. I get terrible gas mileage, and I drive pretty easy. With a mixture of town and highway driving I get about 14.5. I changed the air filter and it didn't make a difference at all. Anyone else have this vehicle and get bad mileage? Should I run some fuel injector cleaner or will that even do anything? I love the truck, just wish it was had a little bit better fuel efficiency

I've got a 2012 F150 I average 17mpg?

have ya tried changing the fuel filter??? and if u havent then try that and pour fuel injector before u put in a new fuel filter not air filter it doesnt really make a different. fuel filter does make a different in some ways due to clogged up lines or others reason. last resort wud be new fuel fiter and a k and n air filter. i have a k and n filter in my f-150 also i usually change my fuel filter every once a year.

I was gettin 13 miles per gallon in my truck til the rear end went out and had to be replaced, now I get 18. But mine is a GMC, don't know but might be worth goin get your rear end checked out.

I also have the k&n. Not worth the money from my experience. I average about 15 MPG. Ford is just not great for fuel mileage.

I put Lucas injector cleaner / fueal treatment once every 3 fill ups and I've noticed it helps a little

I have 06 F150 5.4 4x4 and I average 13.5 since I bought it. All I've owed is ford and they all are thirsty.

Yea it is. It's a solid truck though and I like it. I'll probably change the fuel filter and see if that helps

It has alot to do with the transmission in that year. I had an 08. It had the same tranny. Then in 09 or 10 they changed to a 6 speed.

I just bought a new Ford XLT 4x4 last week (2012)...... It gets awesome gas mileage vs my chevy I had,,

Coming to work which is about 340 R/T miles I avg 18.5 miles to gallon

In town running about 15.2

My chevy would get about 12-16 at best

Love my new truck...

w- what engine u get??

5.4

ummmmm there aint a 5.4 available on the 2012
3.7
5.0
6.2
are the available engines

Got a new f150 with 5.0 no highway for me just in town and towing i get 16-17....

Yea 5.0..5.4 was old engine

the 5.0 is the old mustang GT engine, its a beast!!

I have a 2010 F150 4x4 Lariat with the 5.4 and have found that certain fuels give less mileage than others. 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
