06 F150 4.6L Decrease in MPG
Hello all I am Ryan and I am new here. I been looking at this site for a while for references and well I finally joined. Last yea i drove to Hilton head which was a 700 mile on way trip. Going down and back I did not have any issues. The next day after I came back I was going down the highway and herd a rattle. I crawled underneath and notice my cat on my passenger side a broken inside. I was quoted 1800 for OEM replacement so I did it myself. I got two new cats,one for each side and put them in and welded new bungs in. At the time i figured I would go ahead and put two new O2's in as well. After about 1k miles i started to notice a similar notice again. I went into the hood to notice my plugs loose. After i tightened them with my hands i went back to the house to check it out. I replaced all plugs and re torqued them. Since then my mpg has been roughly 9 with city and HW miles. Probably 10-15 HW miles a day with city only being about 1-2 miles day. On a full tank of gas (I believe 28gal) I am on E about 230 on trip. This seems really low for my truck and was wondering if something else is wrong. I need new tires and am getting some next month before inspection. The truck is Can tuned with a SCT Tuner, Gotts Mod, K+N Air filter, new fuel filter, New trans fluid + filter, two new cats, o2s and plugs as i mentioned above. It has a 2.5" HBS LVL kit in the front and that's it. I drive with a soft cover in the back. It currently has 120k miles. I hope this is enough info for you guys to help me out. Been sitting on this one for a while and finally had to ask LOL
