mpg

2009 Honda Civic LX 1.8L (R18A1). 294,000+ miles I've noticed while scrolling through torque pro that my Short and long term fuel trims are the same and excessive at -71.88%. it throws a P0420 code and sometimes a P0302. I have recently replaced plugs and the P0302 hasn't come back. Odd issue...

I have a 2007 Sport Trac with the 4.6L V8. I bought it with only 89000 miles on it and it was very well taken care of. I now have 95000 miles on her and she runs great. However, I have always gotten really poor gas mileage since I bought her. I travel very short distances and live in Florida...

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...

Not sure...but I *think* I have noticed the trailer sway function affects MPG...around .1-.3, not an insignificant amount. I have not done detail testing of my theory, but I have seen what I believe is this effect. In trying to test my theory, I discovered you can disable trailer sway in...

My '99 Explorer EB 4.0 has an intermittent staring problem. It starts up fine, but when coming back down to idle RPM, it sometimes drops significantly and then dies. Doesn't happen all the time. I've been giving it a little gas each time after starting which has solved this problem, but would...

Hello I have a 2004 4.6 explorer with a little over 200K on it. Currently getting around 20 mpg at 70mph cruise control and wanted to see if anyone has any tips on getting a few more miles to the gallon. I use Mobil 1 high mileage, just changed front and rear diff fluid, transfer case fluid, air...

Hey folks- I've had the Explorer for almost 3 years now and just purchased a travel trailer (see signature). The Explorer does fine towing, but I'm getting 10-13mpg at best. I've been researching ways to improve gas mileage. So far, my ideas are: Icon AeroShield http://a.co/e2NoYRD to improve...

Good afternoon everyone, I should first mention that I'm an elderly, largely-housebound, disabled 'Nam' vet, and have no real 'technical-understanding' of mechanical things like most other forum members here do. Short-term memory gets worse by the day now as well, unfortunately...

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...

Hi exlorerers, I am new to this forum and this is my first Explorer . I just bought it and previous owner have no record for service and maintenance. I am getting milage that has made me confuse. I live in chicago with crazy cold weather and with my driving in city I am getting 8.4 on cluster...

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...

If you drive a 2016 Explorer 4WD with 2.3L EcoBoost engine, please post the fuel efficiency you've observed. Thank you in advance. :salute:

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...

Just picked it up and it's been running great on mid-grade The cng tanks that were in it are expired, so I'm looking at replacing the pair of type 2 tanks with one used type 4 tank, or another pair of type 2s. I could mount a larger tank directly in front of the wheel wells, but I'd rather...

I tried my best find info for a "BWM" on this year and haven't found detailed information on disabling the the 4x4. My Explorer clunks hard into 4x4 when under 30mph and I would like to remove the extra stress on the 4wd system as well as possibly gain a couple mpg by not driving in 4wd while...

A few weeks ago my rig was throwing codes and idling too low and wouldnt stay running after starting. i cleaned the throttle body and found success, no more codes, smoother idle, and overall ran smoother. When i had the TB off i saw the weird spacer with the teeth. Seemed very counter intuitive...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can offer advice on what I can do or modifications I can make that would increase the MPG on my 2003 Ford Explorer. I love this car, but it seems like its sucking gas even more than it used to before.

I had added a K&N CAI and a Flowmaster series 40 muffler with a custom cat back exhaust. The only pipes i didn't have replaced were the ones that went over the axle. I used to get 14 MPG city during the summer and fall. In the winter it went down to 13.8, now i have 12-12.5 after i recently...

Hello, I'm buying new tires soon(currently have coopers and hate them). Anyway I'm going to actually buy some nice all terrain tires this time around. I'm wondering how my MPG/Acceleration will be affected if I go from 28" to 30". Will my truck perform about the same as it does now? I have 3.55...

Hi all, So I have been on the hunt for mpg ever since I got some new 31x10.5R15 Goodyear wrangler duratrac tires. They have a lot of rolling resistance and I have been getting less than 10 mpg with mainly city miles. I have been doing some research and the most likely solution to my problem...

I have a 2007 Sport Trac with a 4.6L V8. Currently have oversized tires (185/60/18)(nitto dune grappler) I am currently getting about 13MPG city How can I increase this? Maybe a chip? Thanks!!!

New Explorer owner, just had my oil changed (jiffy lube, don't EVER go to them) shortly after my SES light came on. My MPG on the info center went from 14.6 before oil change to 19.2 after and has slowly dropped since, currently at 15.3. Not sure why any of this is happening

I've searched these forums and can't find any mpg improvement threads. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting better gas mileage on a 3.0 v6 without blowing a financial gasket? My truck is a cab plus and currently gets 14.9 mpg in the city, which sucks! I got better in my 07 dodge 5...

Hey guys! ok i installed a 24 inch cherry bomb in my car. It has a nice rumble but it isn't loud enough for my liking. I would like to get straight pipes for it but i have no idea how this would affect my mpg. I'm keeping my cat but i wanna do away with the muffler. it honestly sounded amazing...

2005 EX..77K miles...Truck is new to me, just got it about a month ago...First thing I noticed is that the gas mileage was not too good..I was getting @ 375 miles on 20 gallon fill-ups....or @ 18 mpg combined city and road...Well after reading several posts about the crappy mileage I decided to...

Wanting to find out what LARGER MAF and Throttle bodies will work on my 92 4.0 explorer. I searched around and from what i found, the 5.0 throttle body will NOT fit correct? i have a custom 3'' intake, custom exhaust, and im just looking to up my mpgs and performance with little stuff here and there

How do I achieve this??? ALL options will be considered....

What size did you upgrade to and what's your MPG? Me: Stock tire for 16" I got 16 city/22.5 hwy. Currently with 255/70R16 I get 14.5 city/20.3 hwy.

I usually get 13 mpg in the city, but my engine started to misfire and my mpg dropped down to 10mpg. I took it to the shop and they said I needed new plugs and wires so I had them install a set. I also had them install a new fuel filter. The engine sounds fine, but now my mileage has...

...well, OK, economy is probably slightly ironic! I got 23mpg on a 200 mile run from North Wales to Derbyshire across the Pennines with it brimmed using the same pump at the start and end of the journey. Hard to keep it to 70mph on the M56 as it wanted to cruise at 80+ and tehre were lots of...

I used to get 300+ mpg on a tank(15MPG), I then started using 92' octane last summer, eventually my mpg went down to 200(10MPG) or less per tank, my cels light came on and I pull a code 341, sometimes leaving a dead stop the car will hesitate so much it nearly dies, i hit the pedal and the rpm's...

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum but I've been creeping around for a while reading most of the posts in regard to 91-01 explorers. I just recently used my scholarship money to purchase a 2003 Ford Explorer sport 4WD 2dr. However, as I'm a student, I'm realizing my gas mileages are killing my...

I am installing an HHO/Hydrogen Cell in the next couple of weeks. I already installed a dual Oxygen Sensor EFIE + a 30 Amp PWM. Question. Can a MAF sensor be use to lean out the fuel ? Does anyone has MPG Numbers after installing HHO ? IWould be interested to see what others are getting...
