Gas mileage wrecked/Do not buy Falkens

That's not even the example I was immediately thinking about, but you are absolutely correct!



I was thinking of the Quigley conversions on Ford econolines

 

Now you're getting into the realm of sprung vs unsprung weight ... which can be it's own spin on this rabbit hole of a topic regarding MPG.

Is the rust solely on the frame? Are we talking corrosion on the wheel rims instead? So many factors!!

 

Yes
Maybe
Depends

 

But if you scrape the rims of you brand new mounted tires on the curb often enough, you'll safe all that added ff/ww weight

 

so you're telling me all the first gen four-door guys on here had 4x4 added to their trucks?

You sir, are an idiot.

 

With enough rust, you'll get countless MPGs...








































































Cause the frame will be broken and you can't drive it

 

Previously established fact

 

You will find many so afflicted here.
Proceed with forethought.
Best just to recognize their shortcomings and humor them.

 

Toyota says it's normal

 

40 miles uses a quarter tank of gas when topped off. How does the gas mileage of a Honda Ridgeline and Ford F-250 crew cab compare?

 

It doesn't matter because they're all used for extremely different jobs.

also any money you would save on fuel economy on those new vehicles you're going to lose the fact that you're purchasing a new vehicle. Even if it's used, new to you is still a lot more expensive than a truck you already own.

 

How did you go from ~250mi/tank to now 160mi/tank...you sure you’re not leaking gas or somethin?

 

Sounds like he's leaking brain cells at this point

 

Well, no one cares about Ridgelines and, it can't compare to the F250 cause that thing uses no gas!...

































































It'd use diesel

 

Sooo...8.88 mpg. Our old 1990 suburban did better than that with no overdrive and a 7.4l v8...while pulling a trailer.


Either your truck needs work, or your numbers are whack.

 

that’s what I’m saying people keep saying “it’s a truck” but I’m getting GARBAGE gas mileage for a truck even

 

Yeah the 'its a truck' excuse is one of the stupidest copouts.


I'd have a good look at your brakes.

 

No I’m saying, earlier in this thread you said you were getting around 250 a tank and now you’re saying 40/quarter or 160 a tank. I think you need to get some hard MPG data not miles per tank and report back. I’ll get 90 miles for the first 1/4 or my tank, but the last quarter will only last about 50 or less. Old truck, old sensors, old fuel sender. The needle doesn’t drop linearly anymore.
