(Partial) costs of the F150 engines & the cost of a few mpg
Hi All,
I compared the start-up and fueling costs of the various engines that the F150 comes with and I'd like to share the results with you: I assumed $3.00/gallon gas and edit: $3.30/gallon diesel. I also considered the opportunity cost of not being able to invest the monthly fuel savings/startup costs @ 4% CAGR. Enjoy -- bottom line, engine choice is thousands of dollars. Feel free to double check my estimates of course! Using 2019 EPA combined MPG, and all compared to 3.3 V6, 15k miles/year for 10 years: 2.7 V6: roughly $1.5k more expensive 3.5 V6: roughly $5.3k more expensive 5.0 V8: roughly $6.0k more expensive 3.0 V6: roughly $5.2k more expensive Using 2018 Fuelly numbers instead, and comparing to the 2.7 V6, 15k miles/year for 10 years: 3.5 V6: roughly $6.1k more expensive 5.0 V8: roughly $6.1k more expensive 3.0 V6: roughly $5.2k more expensive Edit for more info so depreciation is less of a factor: Using 2018 Fuelly numbers instead, and comparing to the 2.7 V6, and instead running out to 15 years, 15k miles/year: 3.5 V6: roughly $7.8k more expensive 5.0 V8: roughly $8.0k more expensive 3.0 V6: roughly $5.5k more expensive Using 2018 Fuelly numbers instead, and comparing to the 2.7 V6, and instead running out to 20 years, 15k miles/year: 3.5 V6: roughly $11.1k more expensive 5.0 V8: roughly $11.5k more expensive 3.0 V6: roughly $6.2k more expensive |
Except you aren't considering the trade-in value, the limitations that some engines aren't available in some packages, etc.

$4.29 for super here in Orange Ca :(

Interesting!

Looks like my 3.5 EB is gobbling up quite a bit of $$$. Problem is I love the way it runs! Guess I’ll just have to write off the extra money as the cost of doing business.
