  1. 4×4’s use a lot more gas so they probly don’t make a 4.6L one

  3. That’s almost a full litre difference in the engine, so yes, I’d say that there’s a substantial difference in the amount of gas you use. This should give you a bit of a gauge.

    I recently switched from a ‘93 6-cylinder 3.3 litre engine van to a ‘96 Civic with a 4-cylinder 1.6 litre engine. The van has about a 60 litre gas tank and can take me a little under 400kms. The Civic has a 40 litre tank and it can take me just a little over 425kms.

  4. Get the 5.4L. The 4.6L engine is gutless and you will probably use more fuel with it just to keep speed (especially if you are carrying a load). I worked for Ford for 13 years as a tech. I’ve heard all the horror stories about the 4.6L. If you get the 4.6L you will hate yourself until you get rid of it.
