3.0 Liter V6 MPG?
Hey I just got a 2001 3.0 and was just wondering what people with this motor are getting for gas mileage? What are you getting, what mods have you done to get that, what gas do you run, and what are good mods/buys to get better mileage. I know there is other threads about MPG but I just wanted to know about the V6 3.0. Thanks.

with my 2003 3.0 I got 18 city and 22 highway stock. After I got my MAC Performance intake and the flowmaster super 44 lightning style exhaust I went to 22 highway and 16 city. About to put in the new 20% UD pullies I got and from what I heard it will help out the highway mpg some. The thing that will recover my city mpg is the SCT X3 with custom tunes that I will eventually get.
It also depends on the gears being run in the rear end. With the XLT I think that you are most likely running 3.73 gears. My Edge has 4.10 gears so city mpg sucks compared to 3.55 and 3.73 gears but has more low end power. |
about 20 on the highway and about 17 or so in the city just a ported and polsihed throttle body, stock everything got 4.10 gears and what helps me out in the city is turning my overdrive off when going under 30mph.

When I bought it I was getting around 15 city, 18 highway. After a underdrive crank pulley and custom exhaust I'm getting 18 city and 21 highway.
|
Was the performance increase from the under-drive pulleys very noticeable?

the underdrive pullies only free up power. im glad to see someone who dynoed their truck to see how much power they really give. |
is this the best people are getting? thats about what I get too, was just wondering if people did anything else to get more MPG out of their trucks.

dont drive it!!!! hahahahaha im not to sure i would think hotter spark which means a stronger coil pack and some better plugs maybe bump timing a degree or two
|
i get about 18 city and about 22-23 highway depending on how im driving. if im driving like a pissed off teenager i get about 20 highway. im happy about the mileage. wish it was more.

Re: 3.0 Liter V6 MPG?
I have an '02 edge 3.0L with 91,700 mis. on it. I have fabricated an aftermarket intake using Spectre parts from 'the Zone.' I have also recently had to replace the camshaft synchronizer and synchro sensor. I replaced these with Rich Porter parts that come as a set. For whatever the reason may be, this has freed up some power all the way through the rpm band. I have seen milage combined highway and city as high as 24.9mpg. I generally get 22-23mpg combined. I have no specific reason as to why this may be. My theory is that these parts may just be more in synch with the grand scheme of the engines rpm band, sort of similar to certain motors back in the day were considered 'hot' motors when compared with the exact same motor. Unfortunately, computers have negated this effect in todays engines......Just my two cents....and maybe a plug nickel.
