5.0 Gas mileage
Would a 5.0 be much harder on gas than the 4.0 SOHC?

I think he wants to know by how much, or at least I hope so! I vaguely remember reading on another forum that a 5.0 swapped ranger was getting 15-16 mpg.

Re: 5.0 Gas mileage
I'm just idly considering the swap. The 4.0 SOHC is not easy on gas by any means, and I'm wondering if the bonus of having extra power would come with a huge hit on mileage. Even if they were reasonably close, that would suit me just fine!

Think more about smiles per gallon. Even if there was a 5mpg difference you'd have to drive quite a bit to save a significant amount of money. I believe a 5 mpg difference will save you around $300-400 (with current gas prices ) if you drive 10k miles in a year.

Mine right now gets about 12mpg. 2000 expo 5.0, automatic, 4406 transfer case, 4:10 gears and 33s.... I'm pretty heavy on the gas though, kinda have to be otherwise what's the point of putting a v8 in it?! Hahahah
