Gas mileage is bad on my 2001 Ford F150

Asked by GuruCQPGW Feb 26, 2019 at 04:00 PM about the 2001 Ford F-150 XL 4WD LB

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2001 Ford F150 is getting horrible gas mileage. I'm getting about 6-8 mpg. Any thoughts? Gas tank was replaced about a year ago. The truck has had a sudden drop in mpg in the last 6 months

Has it ever been tuned up? You might want to run some injector cleaner through it. What kind of mileage were you getting before? Keep in mind the switch to winter blend fuel depending on where you live there may be as much as 1qt.per gallon of additives that contribute very little power.
