Cleaner Air; Calculating Fuel Economy - Ford 1998 F-150 Owner's Manual

Maintenance and care
It should not be necessary to add
any aftermarket products to your
fuel tank if you continue to use a
high-quality fuel.

Cleaner air

Ford approves the use of gasolines
to improve air quality, including
reformulated gasolines that contain
oxygenates up to 10% ethanol or
15% MTBE.
Do not use gasolines containing
methanol, which can damage
critical fuel system components.
Damage resulting from the use of
methanol may not be covered by
your warranty.

Calculating fuel economy

To accurately calculate your
vehicle's fuel economy:
1. Fill the tank completely and
record the initial odometer
reading.
2. Each time you fill the tank,
record the amount of fuel added
(in liters or gallons).
3. After at least three to five fuel
tank fill-ups, fill the fuel tank and
record the current mileage
reading.
4. Use one of the following
equations to calculate fuel
economy.
Liters used x 100 Total
kilometers traveled
Total miles traveled Total
gallons used
