fuel economy

I have a question. I have dumped a lot of money into my 1994 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD about $9000 in total since I got it. 140,000 miles. I just want it to run like new. I love the truck. I am throwing no codes for KOER or KOEO, the cylinder balance test threw a 90, or a all good code all 3 times...

I haven't been on here in awhile, but wanted to share this with you stock guys. I started using Lucas Oil Upper Cylinder Lubricant about 3 years ago, I add like 4-6 ounces in my fuel every time I fill the tank, and I have to say that this stuff works. After using it for like 6 weeks I started...

Finally completed my 2 year quest to break 20+MPG in my 05 Sport Trac! On the last tank, I got just over 20MPG, with only city driving, and the truck currently has about 110K miles on it. Thought some of you guys may be interested, so I'll detail everything I did below. - drilled holes in air...

Can anyone else with with this model tell me what kind of fuel economy they are getting? Mine always seems to be between 10-12 mpg city. I know I shouldn't expect great gas mileage with this vehicle but I think it can do a little better than that. This car only has 60,000 miles and is in...

Hello everyone! So, I have a 94 XLT and my fuel mileage is terrible! First, it was 18mpg (highway) and stayed there for a long time, then it dropped to about 14mpg after a couple of years, and now after a year of that I'm at less than 11.1mpg (highway). At 14mpg I changed the plugs, wires...

Dear Members, What 2000 Explorer mods are the most effective and cost efficient to improve the fuel economy of the 5.0L V8? I am highway towing a 2,000 lb boat trailer. Better, (higher torque - smaller Ex valve) cylinder head? Higher compression? Aftermarket chip? Better flowing intake and...

I have a 1996 4wd explorer with a 4.0. Everything is stock including the tire/wheel size. The truck only has 108k miles on it. Over the last few months my fuel mileage has gotten worse and worse. I'm barely getting 10 mpg now. The plugs and wires are about 8 months old and I've changed the oil...

I've had the 2012 limited ecoboost for about 2 months now with 1700 miles. I'm getting an average of 16-17mpg city and around 24 highway. This is driving VERY conservative. I know this doesn't seem like much, but we're talking a 20% decrease from the sticker MPG. I've owned a few new Ford...
