Default My 3.7L SCREW w/3.73 gear trip mileage.

Here's the MPG's for our trip from Concord, N.C. to Disney World. Pretty pleased overall.

1st leg with approx 95% at 70 mph, and 50% with A/C.


2nd leg was five days of stop and go around Disney.


3rd leg back home w/same speeds, and A/C as 1st.

Pretty good numbers. Wish my 5.0 scab got that kind of mileage

Nice! I broke my truck in with a 1100 mile road trip and averaged 19 mpg. A lot of that was going 75+ in mountains and high desert. Looking forward to seeing how she runs now.

It looks like that was all one trip (A) and never reset. If that is the case, the MPG for the 3 legs is actually an average or cumulative for the whole trip?

Ford850, you are correct my Friend. Strickly in town driving I average approx. 16.3 - 16.8 on the computer thingy. Highway drivng at 55 increases the mileage to around 25. Of course that depends on the level of the roads.

50, it's a 4X2. Yep, real happy with the power and torque. Modern technology is a wonderful thing. The 3.7L has more power and torque than my '97 XLT with the 4.6.
