My 2021 Ranger surprised me last Monday. I had to drive from home (near Toowoomba) to Redbank Plains to pick up my stepson and 2 grandkids then carried on through Brisbane to Hervey Bay to drop the kids off. We drove around Hervey Bay and headed back to Brisbane and home on one tank of fuel. The fuel warning said 88 klm left just before I got home to Grantham.
It averaged 8.1 litres per 100 klm. over the distance of over 800 klm. Better than what Ford claim. That is 35 MPG. At worst going through Brisbane it was 8.5 litres per 100 klm. (about 31 MPG)
I was quite amazed and this is one truck I will not part with. We did encounter some stop start with 6 lots of roadworks on the way. First decent drive I have had. Normal use around home is about 10.9 klm per litre. 27.5 MPG.
Average speed on highway was about 105 kph. At times up to 120 kph.
Nice trailer ArlyA. Wouldn't mind that myself.

Do you guys have ethanol blend gasoline. That's all we have here and I think it hurts the gas mileage.

There is an Ethanol blend pump available. (gas) but I avoid it like the plague. I tried it once and it gummed the injectors in my Honda. I tried it again a few months later and same thing. Had to use injector cleaner to fix it. Never again.

I've used it off and on. It gives the Ranger a different feel while accelerating, lugs better but i do think you get less MPG. Never had a problem with the engine on the Ranger, over 320K on it so far.

 

[ArlyA]

Ethanol mixed fuels is all we have have used in this Ranger or all our motor vehicles for many years and had no problem what so ever.

 

[Alien]

No Ethanol in diesel that I am aware of, only gas.

Didn't realize you had a diesel. In the US we only have gas Rangers.

Niether did I. I went back a few pages and didn't see diesel mentioned. Maybe I missed it.

 

[cqaigy2]

Yes, at least in the US, gasoline up to E85 ethanol is the only ones i've seen. I should have said in my previous post, i've used E85 numerus times, it's pretty hard to find gasoline without any ethanol in it around here.

What year is yours? I thought I drove a lot, but if you are talking about the new version of Ranger you’ve got me beat!
