I sometimes wonder if they gave me a different engine based on all of your MPG posts

[Taylorlgodwin]

I have a Ford Ranger XL and drive predominantly in sport. Most of my driving (~9900 miles) with the exception of one trip to Colorado has been city driving.

I’ve dropped about 2 miles per gallon since I started paying attention a month or so ago but we’re going through a pretty bad cold snap so I assume I’ll be back up to 28.

I also don’t do anything out of the ordinary or crazy in terms of driving (like driving under the speed limit or whatever). Curious how you guys get bad gas mileage

Most of the fuel usage figures quoted here are for the 400+hp 3.0lt v6 raptor engine

I'm at 19.5 in LA stop and go and hills. It almost never sees above 50. Then theres also that I haul alot of stuff all the time, occasionally tow... so that brings it down.

How often is your foot to the floor getting to your desired speed limit? Mine is whenever the room allows and that's why my MPG sucks.

Username checks out (kidding hahaha) I dont think Ive ever floored this one at all when I think about it...

Hand calculate your mileage. That's pretty high mpg, so I suspect your computer rather than everyone else's mileage.

Agree. That's way high, even for a Ranger with OEM wheels. 21-23 MPG would be more normal with stock tires (and yes, maybe some slight anomalies).

How many miles are you getting on a tank?

I still have under 700 miles. I've put gas in it twice, both times when it had more than half a tank. So I have no idea how many miles I get to a tank.

All I know so far is that the truck shows an average of just under 18mpg. My driving so far is just around town.

I have a Lariat with FX4 and the 2.7 Ecoboost, so it's on the heavy end of the scale.

A base model 2.3L XL is going to get much better mileage than a +400hp 3.0L Raptor…

Wasn't replying to you. I was agreeing with you.

I’m getting 18-20 MPG out of the 2.7L FX4, and I’m sure I could get it to 22 or more if I didn’t drive like Mario Andretti. 28 MPG out of the 2.3L is very possible with reasonable driving Habits.

My Ranger Raptor with the ProCal tune and 8,000 miles can easily get 23 @ 55 mph. Running 70 I get 19 on 93 octane. If I'm taking it easy, in 9th and 45 mph it gets 25. It's often to easy to enjoy the power though.

Against my better judgment, I am going to assume this isn’t a troll post from someone that has nothing better to do than coast down a hill to get some false numbers for some delusional sense of entertainment and recommend you to take your ranger to the dealer for a diagnostic.
Doing some basic math using the miles to empty and fuel level from the provided picture one could extrapolate that on a full tank, you would be at approximately 350 miles to empty on an 18.7 gallon tank. Therefore more like 18-19 MPG.

At full last time I filled up I had a little over 500 miles to E.
