After reading a Matthias' wonderful fuel mileage, I ran a check on my '94 F250 4X4 extended cab.
Mine is closer to 15 than to 30 miles per gallon--running basically empty at speeds under 62 mph.
It has oversized tires LT 265/75/R16.
It might be lifted a little.
The timing has been set by Mel. ( We need decals--" Timing by Mel")
I know the 4X4, over sized tires, and some lift all work against good fuel economy. Is 15 mpg the best I can hope for?
How can I tell if its been lifted--I don't have a stock truck to compare. There does appear to be a spacer under the rear spring, but it has what looks like a little handle sticking out to the inside of the truck. There are pads, maybe 1/2" to 3/4" thick under the front springs.
