I guess all that matters to me is how my truck performs...

Fuely is about as reliable as Wikipedia.

You can reference it but its not bible.
Nobody said it was bible.

It is just an average and well, averages average out. Some people get more, some people get less. It is a pretty good reference point for all around use, or should I say average use.

If you are getting 5 mpg more than average, then more power to you.

Not even close... I had a 2002 F150xl how many were sold in that year... top selling vehicle and you only had 11 people post MPG on Fuelly


2015 2.7L you have 59 trucks how many were sold..... you get my point.

My other truck gets 4 mpg unloaded and 1.4 gallons per mile fully loaded, but it's a blast to own.

It's for sale if anyone is interested.


Ah the HET. Rode in those while my M1A1 was being transported around back in my Army days. Yeah, those tow 70 ton tanks.

I see 82 vehicles for 2002, much higher than 11.

Say what you like, but across all vehicles posted they are historically very close in average from year to year and I am sure you will find the same here for the 2.7. Some will slightly increase some will slightly fall behind.

If you are getting much better than average on yours then I suggest you join Fuelly and help increase the average for the 2.7 engine and give a more accurate picture of the average mpg.

Sorry 11 posts of a 2002 with a 5.4l even with 87 total compared to over 150,000 sold that is a very small %.

2015 2.7L you have 59 trucks how many were sold..... you get my point.
For what it's worth fuelly start in 2013. How many people care about and even own a 02 with a 5.4 eleven years later. My guess is 11.
Wonder what Nighthawk87 decided?

I was one out of eleven then
Just traded it last month.... tend to hold on to them 9 to 15 years. It's an eye opener when they tend to double in price between trucks
