Alright, I fiqured I would be going through gas alot but this is ridiculous. ~8.8 mpg. I just filled up 22.5 gallons and only 202 miles. Geez... Is there something wrong?!?! I am driving normally, not stomping it @ everylight. 60% highway 40% street. Shouldnt I be averaging ~12mpg. What can I do to improve my mpg's? I understand it my 5.9 wont get good mpg's but this is nuts[sm=rolleyes.gif] My truck is stock btw.

Don't feel too bad, some students at the university I work at recently tested all the full size trucks and SUV's for gas mileage and the Ford Excursion came up the loser...3.8 MPG!!! They are starting a movement to get the things banned from the road....[sm=smiley23.gif]

That is bad... my 5.9 gets about 12 in the winter with all my mods...

Is it new? If not, have you done regular maintenance on it?

Sheesh! I have the 8.0 and 4WD and I get better than that! About 3/4 of my daily drive is city driving, so maybe you have a few issues going on.

A bird in the hand is much better than two overhead!!!

Dam*, my 13 mpg doesn't look so bad now!!

I don't have too many miles yet, but I'm getting close to 15mpg with my Hemi. I'm only flooring it once or twice per tank.

I do have a lid, & a K&N Filter which may help.

What year, gear ratio and tire size. There is a tranny reprogram to keep from shgifting into o.d. too soon around town - that helped me some.

Intake, Exhaust and SuperChip have given me an additional 2 MPG.

My truck is a 2002, I have 25k miles. The dealer recommended injector cleaning and cleaning the throttle body. Cost ~$180, which to me dosent seem practical. Then again I could be wrong. I do have the 20" wheels, but that shouldn't affect mpg that much.

All the dealer will do is pour a can of BG44K in a run it for a little while.
