Gas mph in my f150
Jack,
My specs for the truck are this: 3.73 gears 4x4 5.4 3v with cat back exhaust/tru-flow xdi cai Lariat 2006 with 22k Weekend trip truck For instance; Around Sioux Falls 11.5-13 mpg Mixture of driving on 87oct straight. From 25-75 mph 10.5-12 89oct e10 blend Went on a trip this last summer: Started in sf with full tank of 87oct Averaged 13-15 mpg to Tomah WI Filled up there, with their 88oct (did not see blend sticker) Averaged 14-18 mpg to Springfield IL Filled with 87oct Averaged 16-20 mpg to Ohio The whole point is the further east I went the better the mpg until after Ohio. Coming back the same data was collected in reverse. True I was not probably hammering down on it like I was at home. Kept it around the same speed 65-75mph. So right there adds a little to your conclusion also Jack that states probably do blend gas differently. Now f150 owners around here with 3.50 gears get 1-2 mpg better in town and 17-21 mpg on highway. The down side of this gear when they tow is they are back down their with the 3.73 mpg. Now I tow with mine and I have consistently the same mpg as long as it's not a high profile type trailer. -Lars Last edited by 88Racing; Mon, February 9th, 2009 at 11:08 PM. Reason: Forgot spec |
