- 2005 Mountaineer V8
I purchased my 2005 Mountaineer V8 in 2007 with 22,000 mi. For the first year or so, I checked the fuel mileage with every fill-up and was getting 14.5 mpg around town and 21 mpg on highway trips. I noticed last fall that it was dropping and began checking it again. I am now getting 9.5 mpg around town and 15.5 mpg on highway trips. I had one dealer tell me it was the fuel and they said that since it was not tripping any codes that there was nothing they could do. Another Ford dealer ran a complete driving test and said that I needed an MAF sensor and one coil on cyl. #8. These were replaced under warranty, but I have noticed no improvement in the last eight weeks. I still show no check engine light or any other problems. The vehicle has always seemed to run fine with no miss or hesitation whatsoever. I really love the vehicle otherwise, but the mileage is killing me. Any ideas?
