FUEL ECONOMY IS NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH STANDARDS ON THE 4.6L F150. I HAVE CHECKED AND CHECKED IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN. I AM SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE ON THE HIGHWAY. AROUND TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY, SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY TRUCK IN 2006 IT HAS BEEN GETTING 13 MPG. I JUST RECENTLY PLACED A K&N FILTER ON IT IN ORDER TO HELP WITH THE MILEAGE. I AM NOW GETTING 15MPG HIGHWAY AND AROUND TOWN. BEFORE THE CHANGE, THE TRUCKS IDLE WAS ROUGH AND DROPPED BELOW 1,000 RPMS. AFTER THE CHANGE, IT'S STILL THE SAME. I TOOK IT TO A TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEPARTMENTS AND SPOKE WITH THEM ABOUT THE CONCERN THAT I HAD AND BOTH TOLD ME IT WAS THE WAY I DROVE THE TRUCK. WRONG. WHEN THERE IS BLACK SOOT ON THE EXHAUST PIPE AND IT'S NOT CLEAN, THAT'S AN INDICATION OF A MAF SENSOR OR ONE OF THE OXYGEN SENSORS HAVE GONE BAD. I HAVE NEARLY 25,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND AM FIXING TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR DUE TO THE FACT THAT A MAF SENSOR WILL NOT SHOW UP AS BEING DAMAGED AND NO COMPUTER CODES ARE RELAYED THROUGH THIS. THE OXYGEN SENSORS WOULD SHOW COMPUTER CODES. I DO HAVE IT ON FILE AT WAYNE MORRIS FORD IN PERRY, GA WHERE THEY HAD CHECKED THE TRUCK AND STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG, I WAS JUST GETTING BAD GAS. THIS WAS BEFORE I CHANGED OUT THE AIR FILTER. IT IS AGGRAVATING IN KNOWING THAT ONE, I AM DRIVING A TRUCK THAT NOW GETS 15 MPG CITY/HIGHWAY WHERE BEFORE IT WAS 13 MPG WHEN I SHOULD BE GETTING 17/20 MPG. *ALSO, HERE IS A KEYNOTE. THE 2006 CRUISE CONTROL ASSEMBLY WAS MESSED UP ON THE TRUCK WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT AND THEY REPLACED IT WITH A 2007 CRUISE CONTROL ASSEMBLY AND PLACED A NEWER 2007 COMPUTER IN IT DUE TO THE FACT 2006 WAS NOT PICKING UP ON THE CRUISE CONTROL.*TR
