I have a 1993 f150 with a 5 liter and automatic transmission. I'm currently gettin 13 mpg. the engine is strong and in good running order. Is there any way to get more? Thanx!!


I've never owned the 5 liter Ford, but that mileage sounds pretty miserable to me. A lot depends on your particular driving habits...Have you ever tried running at 60 mph when you test your mileage?

This mileage I speak of is with the cruise set at 60.

If you guys are talking miles to the US gallon, that is better than I get with my 99 F150 XLT 4x4 SC SB. In the city I get about 20l/100kms (11.7M/USG) and on the highway maybe 15-16 unloaded. Maybe I need a tune-up?

I have a '95 Bronco -- essentially an F150 station wagon -- with the 5.8L motor, and I get about the same mileage as you. My brother also has a '95 Bronco with the 5.0L engine, and he also gets the same.

I get about 19-20 mpg on highway with cruise on 59 in a 2005/ F150 with the 5.4 Triton V8. Running K/N air filter and Tufoil mixed with the Ford Synthetic blend Motor Oil.

I think the Tufoil is a major help as I ran it in my Chevy with the 5 liter V8 and put over 240 thousand on that engine. Compression was strong and even on all 8 cylinders when I got rid of that truck.

Don't forget to keep you're tire pressure right too for improved mileage.
