Fuel economy

[shaunb66]

Have the 5.0 and my buddy had a Eco as a loaner. They both run about the same mileage when city driving. It's cold weather warm up time and I'm getting about 18l per 100 k. Am very happy with it I got rid of my envoy it was getting 22l per with same driving style

[BFEB]

I'm hoping it stays similar since I just traded my EB for a 5.0 lol

[RhinoZ24]

You'll have no problem with mileage, get it tuned and you'll have no problems.

[BFEB]

I'll probably just see how it is stock til summer when I work more OT

[RhinoZ24]

It'll still be fast and probably better mileage than your old 5.4

[BFEB]

Definitely

[RhinoZ24]

Does it have the offroad package too, or just 4x4?

[BFEB]

Just 4X4

[Jersey_Joe]

It'll still be fast and probably better mileage than your old 5.4

Who's 5.4? Lol

[BFEB]

Get em Joey lol

[RhinoZ24]

His old one Joe, not yours dammit lol

[BFEB]

Ya that thing needed a lot more umph

[RhinoZ24]

You think that did, what do you think my 4.6 needs lol.

[BFEB]

Hell coming from a 2.3 ranger my 08 felt fast lol

[RhinoZ24]

Well no s*** lmao, but we'll see how it compares to your new 5.0, what time are you getting it today?

[BFEB]

Wish I knew

[RhinoZ24]

Expecting a call I guess?

[BFEB]

That's an understatement lol

[RhinoZ24]

Dying for a call? Lmao

[BFEB]

Kinda lol

[Jersey_Joe]

That sucks. Lol. I hate that. I'd b goin nuts

[BFEB]

Even worse now. They just called and told me the remote start they said they had in stock wasn't so I'll be waiting til tomorrow morning now. Sad face

[RhinoZ24]

Makes it even better when you get it though

[BFEB]

Depends on weather. I'd rather have it in my garage since there's a chance of freezing rain

[Jersey_Joe]

Bastards!!!! Hate that last minute crap

[BFEB]

Ya it's upsetting.

----------

Wouldn't be so bothersome if they hadn't told me to my face that it was in stock and would have it done today on Friday. Could've ordered it Saturday or let me know before 3 in the afternoon.

I better drop it before I get more angry about it.

[RhinoZ24]

Good idea lol.

[BFEB]

Haha

[RhinoZ24]

Don't beat them up tomorrow lol

[BFEB]

I'll do what I can not to lol

[RhinoZ24]

Goodluck lol

[BFEB]

Thx lol

[RhinoZ24]

I'll show up at your court date and put in a good word for you if you do lol.

[BFEB]

Lol

[RhinoZ24]

So no sleep tonight I guess?

[BFEB]

Nah it's bout time to hit it for me

[RhinoZ24]

[RhinoZ24]

Lmao, I agree with that one for sure.

[BFEB]

Absolutely lol

[RhinoZ24]

Lol

[BFEB]

So back on topic. I'm antsy to see what kind of mileage I can pull with the 5.0 with my old man driving skills.

[RhinoZ24]

With you, over 20, maybe better if you keep driving 50mph lmao jk.

[BFEB]

Problem is 90% of my driving is city.

[RhinoZ24]

You still have better city conditions than me. I'm doing all I can to maintain 12mpg with this s***ty winter blend gas.

[lee reece]

You still on winter gas ? We switched late and back early!! I can't figure out what the ^ell is going on. But with that said its down to all time low this yr @ 87 - 3.27. Last yr hit low of !!!2.98!!!

[BFEB]

I absolutely hate winter gas.

[Jersey_Joe]

I second and third lol

[BFEB]

X100 lol

[Jersey_Joe]

We should really live closer. Lol

[BFEB]

Fo sho

[RhinoZ24]

Yeah you guys should really live closer so you can share my pain at the pump. It might as well be armed robbery everytime I go.

[BFEB]

You could live closer to us and have it a little better lol

[RhinoZ24]

If only, but college is out here. After that I'm outta here lol.

[Jersey_Joe]

Lol. I would. That's crazy. U nailed it. Robbery at the pump

[BFEB]

Pretty much.

[RhinoZ24]

You don't even know lol

[BFEB]

Hopefully never will

[RhinoZ24]

Hopefully for you guys lol.

[BFEB]

Only a few miles on the big boy right now, but sitting just above 15 all city. I'll take it.

[RhinoZ24]

I'm still at 11-12 city, with a smaller V8. This isn't right lol.

[BFEB]

The 6 spd helps.

[RhinoZ24]

Agreed, I would get much better mileage with 2 more gears lol

[BFEB]

Tai think the 09-10 do 1.5-2 mpg better

[RhinoZ24]

I wouldn't doubt it lol.

[BFEB]

Next Ford will have an 8 speed to match dodge. I'm guessing in the '15 upgrade.

[RhinoZ24]

Seriously? Wow, trucks might finally get over 20mpg all the time lol.

[BFEB]

They'll advertise that, but most will get about the same due to driving style lol

[RhinoZ24]

No due to the fact that we actually use our trucks how they are intended, not optimal situations like the EPA does lol.

[BFEB]

True

[RhinoZ24]

Yeah, but mine isn't far off from the expected mpg estimates, well if I drive reasonably that is lol.

[BFEB]

That's the key lol

[RhinoZ24]

But that's hard to do with my exhaust and my programmer lol.

[BFEB]

I bet lol

[RhinoZ24]

I swear, the gas pedal just falls to the floor everytime, I don't even touch it lol.

[BFEB]

You must be so in tune with your truck that it just does what you want it to do not what you hope it would do

[RhinoZ24]

Lmao I guess so, but we're not very efficient thinkers then lol.

[BFEB]

Most men aren't lol

[RhinoZ24]

Sounding like a female here Dan lol jk, has your wife brainwashed you after you bought your new toy? Haha

[BFEB]

No I was saying I'd have to take your man card if you felt any different.

[RhinoZ24]

Haha go ahead and try grandpa O___o lmao I'm jk Dan, you could probably still kick my ass lol

[BFEB]

I hope so lol jk. I am just under the size of 2 of you lol

[Jersey_Joe]

Lok

----------

Lol

[RhinoZ24]

And the short joke lmao

[BFEB]

It's kinda a fat joke about myself too. Lol

[RhinoZ24]
