Default specs and general info

I have a few questions about my "new-to-me" 2000 4x4 xcab.
1. What kind of mileage should I expect?
2. How big is the gas tank?
3. Oil capacity?
4. What kind of common Gremlins can I expect?

1. with a 4x4 5.4, about 16 mpg stock on the highway (65 mph speed). exhaust and intake should put you at 18.
2. my screw is 25 gallons, so the xcab should be about that if not exactly that
3. 6 qts. for the 5.4 (thats in the owners manual)
4. dunno, but if you have the 5.4 don't worry about the cold knock, thats on all of them

Thanks. I owned a 96 z71 and got about 16-19 so I had an idea of what to expect. I put 300 miles on 3/4 tank then the light came on. So if that's about 18 gallons I'm looking at 16-17 with 200 of those miles @ 70 on the interstate so I guess that's ok. I'm sure it'll improve a little when i get that skanked out air filter out.
