just curious what kind of mileage youre getting and with what kind of setup.
eg.: MAF 5.0L HO, AOD, 4.10s and 35x12.5's

A guy should be able to get 20 with a MAF 302, decent gear, light foot and skinnies.

My '98 Explorer with the 5.0 has gotten a best (that I've checked) of 24.6 mpg. On my daily work commute it was getting 18 mpg last time I checked.

I have no idea what the Ranger gets with the 4.6 in it. It's very difficult to have a light foot while driving it.

I don't DD it anymore, 93 octane is a killer. 396W stroker (just about every mod possible) 750 edelbrock, ZF 5 speed, NP205, 3.73s and 35 inch tires. On a good day around 12-15ish. On a fun day I'm sure it's gallons per mile, worst tank averaged 4mpg.
