how many miles per gallon would a 96 f 250 4x4 get with a 5.8l..im sure its not good but i was wondering before i buy one as a work truck .thanks

 

buddies gets around 12-14,which aint real good,but the 302 aint much better and ford still hasnt managed 2 accomplish anything as far as mpgs go considering many 5.4s out there get worse mpgs than a 351 does

 

I checked mine here recently and got a little over 15mpg with my 5.8; supercharged, intercooled and 4:10 gears.

 

My 5.8 was getting about 13mpg combined cty/hwy but I drive it like I stole it most of the time.

 

so it sounds like the they get around 14 mpg average city yeah the one i was looking at has 4.10 hears with stocks tires.

 

are you kidding me the 5.4 get worse mpg than the 5.8?guess ill buy the 96 with the 5.8 and not the 99 with the 5.4l then.

 

My 5.8 h.o. gets 9 mpg on highway. 4 or 5 in town. It's in a 78 f100 with c6 and 3.50 rear gears. I think it may be the holley sucking it all down but i need to something about it. The engine is from an 85 f150, if i knew it was going to be so bad on gas i wouldn't have bought it. Switched it over to a 2 barrel and it didn't help enough for the power loss.

 

the 5.8 will be much easier 2 work on 2
