don't feel bad fluffy... I have the 4.6 also. I have an S&B Cold Air Intake, and a Flowmaster on her... I average 11.5-13 mpg! I use good gas and treat her well...

I can now understand why folks hate the search; you get flooded with topics, because these questions come up so often.
Thing is, with "MPG" and other short terms, the forum search will not work.

Tried to point that out with "aux in". Oh well.

IF this forum had the proper things stickied, then repeat posting would slow / stop.

Makes it tough to search for "18s" or "35s" as well.

Some good stickies would be vital, just need some members to take the time to do some thorough posts, and I bet the Admins would do it.

With 37" tires and 4.88 gears my mpg's stay between 14-15 average city/highway. I would consider it normal driving as Im not ******* it but not babying it either.
