4.6L 3V MPG's
I have a Crew Cab 4X4 with the 4.6L 3V 6 speed auto with the 3:73 rear end. The truck has a little over 8,000 miles on it. Stock wheels and tires with no lift. I recently made a 665 mile round trip and my milage was 16.8 mpg's. This was all highway using cruise control set at 70 - 75 mph.
I thought my mpg's to be a little low. What have others that have this same set up experience ???
This is hand calculated. The read out on the dash said 18.4 mpg's when I filled up.

That's not bad I don't think. The high estimate is 18 MPG highway which you would probably get closer to at 60-65 MPH. I have found my readout to be consistently ~1 MPG higher than I actually get.

The window sticker stated an epa rating of 14 - 19 mpg's (I know I should not put too much thought into that window sticker). I figured I would get closer to the 19 mpg's mark on the highway. I guess I should have gotten the 3:55 rear end for that, but I love the 3:73 LS.

Interesting - the average speed of the "highway driving" test is only 48 MPH.
