How Many Miles Per Tank Do You Get?

[cruzer076]

Ok guys, I have a stock 2001 EXPY with 4.6 V8 ,

I am averaging about 300 miles to the tank of 87 unleaded. Is that right?
My emissions light is on so I am sure I'm not getting the best fuel economy right now (and I smell gas when I drive which I think is related to something else) but just wondering what you are all averaging miles per tank.

If you post like this it will help me see how alike we are in driving etc..

2001       4.6 V8          60%/40%       None        300mi  +/- 15 mi

Is that right? if my tank is 26 gallons that is roughly 11mi per gallon...ouch say it ain't so!

I did the tune in my 01 5.4 and I am getting a little over 14 city and almost 17 on the highway at 75mph.

Don't know what it got before I tuned it though.

I get about 15-16mpg with about a 75% highway and 25% city ratio.
So about 480 a 30 gallon take fill. I never let it go to all the way empty though.

I dont know about city but I get 400 miles a tank highway.
I have a 1997 Expy 4x4, 5.4, 138k Original miles, just upgraded to accel coil packs and a K&N air filter (not the whole cold air intake, just the filter).

My brother has a 2001 Eddie Bauer, 5.4, about 30k+ miles on rebuilt engine, same Accel coil packs and k&n air fiter (not complete system) and he just got 400 miles highway also. We are about the same but havent checked out the city driving.

You're running factory wheels and tires?

You're running factory wheels and tires?

Not sure who you were talking to but yes I am running factory wheels 16's.

Also an update, I just got my emissions fixed,a sensor was the issue and the car runs so much smoother now. Also they replaced my gas cap and said my old one was broken not holding pressure. Just filled up and going to see what I get out of this tank, Last tank was 280 miles to the tank! I was so disappointed, hopefully this will be much better.

The computer says I get 11.9 miles per gallon, I've reset it and checked it several times always back to 11.9. My truck has over 145K on it and probably due some maintenance. But predominately I just drive him back and forth to work and on the weekends in a week I probably drive 100 miles so a tank lasts me a couple weeks.

'03 Exp, 5.4L, stock except for the K&N Intake (which didn't make a difference with the mileage); Not sure on the total tank mileage but had a comment about seeing a huge difference in highway mileage (per the mileage computer), depending on speed. For speeds around 70-72, mpg is consistently about 20-20.5. For speeds around 75-80, mpg quickly drops to 15-17. I've observed this over the last year, with many miles of moderately hilly highway travel (highway between Denver and Col Springs). It definitely helps motivate me to slow up a little, which can be hard in CO when the speed limit is 75 mph.
