Ford Econoline There's more to the Econoline's staying power than Ford simply sticking with a product that has been the No. 1-selling full-size van since 1980. The Econoline has received only minor changes over the years. The result is a cargo van that looks different, but is still very much the same. For many E-Series customers, that is the best news of all.

Default 96 E-150 Sucking down gas

I have a E-150. Up until about a months ago, whenever i pull my snowmobile trailer my van seems to get TERRIBLE GAS MILEAGE. It just sucks down fuel. I did a trans kit on it and seemed like i fixed the problem until today when i went and picked the trailer up i burned about a 1/4 tank, its only about a 30min trip!. Please offer any ideas

Has to be between 7-11MPG. Without the trailer its like 14MPG. It seems to be fine without the trailer, but now after years of useing it to pull with the gas mileage has just dropped from under me.
FYI its a V8
