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 where it is flat and I average around 10mpg and sometimes it drops to 8 or 9. I am not pulling any codes and am wondering what possibly could be giving me such bad gas mileage without any noticeable issues when driving her. I do get better MPG when driving longer distances, but we are talking maybe 12 in the city and 15 on the highway. I also do not drive it like a teenager. I just run up a mile and a half up to drop off and pick up my son from school. Please help. I don't want to just start throwing money at the problem buying coils and spark plugs if that is not the issue.
