I own a 2007 Regular Cab F150, 4.2 V6, auto trans., 165K miles. I bought it new with only 6 miles on it.
Today was the first real long highway trip I have travelled since my sons shop foreman repaired/replaced the fuel tank overflow filter assembly.
Before this repair the best city/town mileage was about 18 mpg (17.8 to be exact), highway mileage 20 (20.2 to be exact). Today I had to take a 240 mile round trip. The speed limit was 70 mph, but I was doing 65 mph, with the a/c on. After the trip I filled up with gas and was getting 21.1 mpg.
I used to be one of those people that would like to fill my tank until it was coming out of the fill neck. TRUST ME, you don't want to do this!
Since the repair and at every gas fill, I stop the pump on the 1st click.
Those of you that are truck owners, what kind of mileage are you getting?
