I got this 1993 Ford Ranger V6 4.0 liter and was wondering what the size of the gas tank is becasue i dont think im getting good gas mileage. im gettting about 250miles a tank if that. i noticed that if i have a 1/4 tank of gas when the truck is running and then turn it off the gas gauge will go to 1/2 of tank. its got 33's on it but i dont think them tires would make that bigg of differnce in gas mileage. anybody know whats up??

i think my tank is 16.5 gallons or soemthing. the 33's do make a big diff if its not regeared right and you are trying to accelerate normally.

16.5 if its a reg cab, i think 19 if its a extended cab

www.rangerpowersports.com is also a good forum, i have had a couple rangers, 89,91, and now my 95

I usually get over 300 to a tank. Best was 370 and I had to put 18.5 gallons in it. Mine is a 96 4.O supercab with 163,000. Our 94 explorer is lucky to get 230 on a tank and it's getting tired. How is your overall condition?

i got a 2.3l 4 cyl 5 spd, no cat, and k&n filter, 16.5 gallon tank and can go over 400 without running out.. 130k miles

regular cab is 16.5, supercab is 20


4.0 with a little bit of work done and a 20gallon tank, 12 miles to the gallon, i get bout 200 miles outta my tank, trucks only got about 20,000 miles on it, must be something wrong with it :confused:

My 99 ranger only got about 250 miles on the 16.5 gallon tank. I would say yours is where it should be. I had a 4.0 4x4 with 4.10 gears and lt245\75 \16 tires.

it was a good truck but it was slow,gutless and had no room. They should have stuck 5liters in them at the factory.

Compared to my f150 my ranger was a slug. The 01 and newers should be a lot better. My ranger did good smokies too.

The best my ranger ran was a 17.4. My f150 15.6

so if mine did a 15.9 on 33's than that ain't to shabby :confused:

That wouldnt be to shabby.

What did you do to yours.

I just know mine was a turd but that may just be attributed to the 4.10 gears 5spd auto.

[300EX_HMF]

yeah mine runs pretty damn good, espescially with 33's, its an extended cab, STX, but i dont know what gears are in it but its pretty damn torquey in 1st and 2nd gears and it makes a whining sound in 1st gear to when im just putting around.
