97 window sticker

[plsticsman]

Of all the stupid things, I need to find the original EPA estimated mileage for my 97 PSD. Anyone have that info???

Just curious as to why you need it?

i might be wrong but i thought diesel trucks werent put to the same standards so they would not have an EPA for them... i know all the new ones dont tell you what the EPA is....

New fuel reimbursement rules. They are setting a minimum mileage and then paying you a percentage if you're vehicle falls below the minimum. But the wonderful EPA site they are using doesn't even show a diesel as an option for my truck, what a shocker there@@!!!

I may be wrong, but I think there is some sort of exemption for vehicles over a certain GVW. I really doubt it would have been on your sticker to begin with. I'm pretty certain that it wasn't on mine.

Due to the GVW rating, the manufacture (FORD) wasn't required to rate them. There not considered passenger cars. Thats what the sale's guy told me when I asked ten years ago. It isn't listed on my window sticker.

GVW rating is the same reason my 97 F350 doesn't have an airbag. When 97 F150's, Bronco's Etc. All had them.

You might try Fuel Economy and see if it lists anything for your truck.

I just looked at my original window sticker for my 97 and there is nothing listed for the EPA estimated mileage. The spots are blank.

Thanks for all the help. The "Fuel Economy" site leaves out the older Diesels as well as the EPA site. Now I'll have to wait and see how corporate deals with a big blank!!!

Guess they'll just have to pay? Right?
