hey guys... gonna be getting a new job soon, therefore a new vehicle..

my first choice is a Sporttrac, then a car

If i get a sporttrac, its just a matter of time before its on 33s..

right now my 94 b4000 gets 14-16mpg with my 33s... Would a sporttrac get better than that with the same driving style???

the sporttrac would be newer, and have less mileage, as well as a SOHC as apposed to an OHV engine


Please tell me I can get 17-18mpg highway with 33s in a sporttrac.... I dont want to buy a car

(if i did have to buy a car, it would be over 200hp, and over 25mpg like an acura rsx or a subaru wrx non sti (2000-2005))

thanks
 
Well I don't have one, but I was readin' 'bout 'em. Said V-8, auto, 2wd got like 20-22, somthin like 300hp? I think that would only encourage me to "git on it", ya know, theoretically decreasing mileage.

And the 4x4, is full-time, which probably does nothing for milage...

I do know a guy that has a F-150, with 4.6L, auto, 4x4, says he averages 18mpg.
