This is weird.
My truck, a 2002 F150 with the base V6, gets 13-14 mpg. It always has except times when I'm going a long distance at a steady 55 mph when it might creep up to, at most, 18 mpg. If I treat it rough in around-town, stop-and-go traffic, it might drop to 12 mpg.
I reset my trip odometer after fill ups and calculate mileage if I fill up again at the next gas stop.
I filled up today, ran the numbers, and for my last tank I got a touch over 20 mpg. This entire tank was around town driving and I can't think of anything I did differently.
I've had vehicles suddenly get worse mileage when something was wrong but I've never experienced this sort of sudden improvement.
Any theories?
