fuel mileage

[dirtdevilnc]

15.0 on my 2006 4.4 w sport package. This is what i am getting through mixed highway/driving. I didnt expect it to get the mileage of a diesel but it seems to be several MPG less than other folks are getting though it has been averaging about 30 degrees here.
Anyone else seeing about the same in their 4.4 ?

We're usually somewhere between 17 and 18 as an average. Most often it's driven by my wife to work and she has about a 4 mile city-like commute. Not the best for MPG.

Funny the thread comes up as I just did a "test-run" on a 150 mile round-trip run to Shawnee Mt in PA yesterday an we averaged 19.7mpg. This was with most of the miles on the "hills" of RT80 West out of Jersey, mixed with the around town driving while in PA, with the wind blowing crazy and our Thule roof racks on...slowing us down all the while. I would consider consider close to 20MPG for this drive a win.

PS we're in a 2006 3.0 and love it to death.

I've been getting about 15.2 average now mixed highway/city. That is down from the consistent 16.1 that I was getting before I had my mass airflow meter replaced and some work done on the vacuum system. I usually drive around 85 mph on the highway so I know that has something to do with the relatively lower numbers. Anyone know if replacing mass airflow meter have an affect on the fuel consumption... possibly was running too lean before?
