Said bye-bye to my Ranger.. - Ford Forums

Hello all,

With the rising gas prices and my long commute to and from work everyday, I traded in my Ranger. I bought a Saturn. I really wanted to stay with Ford but my salesman wasn't willing to do the work to get me into an Escape or Fusion with reasonable terms.

It's been a pleasure sharing with everyone. My next vehicle will most like be a Ford because I was very pleased with my Ranger (except the gas mileage).

Take care,

Brian

That's too bad. I'm sure the Saturn will treat you as well as the Ranger did. For a compact truck the difference in mileage between the 2.3 to the 3.0 and 4.0L engines is around 25%, that's a good hike. The only thing that aggravates me about the Ranger is the small fuel tank, which gives you low driving range on the larger engines with the reg cab. Cheers.

I went from a Dodge Neon (SRT-4 actually) to my '08 Ranger and gas mileage should be similar, I hope. Plus I don't have to buy premium unleaded now. Good luck with the Saturn.

Just picked up my 2.3/Automatic Ranger a couple weeks ago - 29 mpg 1st tank all highway miles, 24 mpg 2nd tank with some city driving and 26.5 mpg last tank with 75% highway. Very very happy with it.
