Hello, I have an automatic 1997 XLT, 4 cylinder 2.3L engine. I now travel daily to my school which is 27 miles away, the trip is almost all highway so speeds of 60-70MPH. My Ranger has seemed to always get great mileage before and I suppose before school I never realized how bad it was on gas at highway speeds.
Seems it should be better on the highway! Does anyone know what could be wrong? My dad and I want to fix this as fast as possible, we are thinking about larger diameter tires, cleaning out my K&N air filter, new exhaust and changing out the spark plugs.
Any advice would be well appreciated, as I don't think this is normal for a Ranger.
Thanks!
