F-150

  • miles
Poor gas mileage; has averaged 15.4 miles per gallon, and Ford advertises 16 city to 20 highway. Other F150 owners report poor gas mileage. Is this false advertising because I would never have purchased truck getting 15.4 miles per gallon when I travel mostly highway miles. I have a loud rattle noise under truck and the catalytic converters and muffler have all been replaced! also, vibration via gas pedal from engine (?) noted between 45 and 55 mph.
