1995 Ford Ranger
2WD Automatic regular cab
I bought it used with 183,000 miles and I originally never got any less than 25-26 MPG with a combination of 50/50 city and highway driving. The Ranger currently has 224,000 miles and now I'm lucky if I see 18-20 MPG highway. Why is this? It can't be due to high mileage because again I bought it with high mileage in the first place.
I've replaced the EGR valve, water pump, heater control valve, timing belt, serpentine belt, fuel filter and nothing helps. My tires are all properly inflated as well. Could it possibly be the o2 sensor? I've never had that changed before. Any ideas? 18-20 MPG is V6 territory for crying out loud.
BTW, my "check engine" light died out on me last Fall and now my truck won't let me get the codes when I take it to Advance or Pep Boys.
