    i have a 03 screw with the 5.4 in her and only get about 10.5 mpg with her i haven't been driving her to hard sense the roads aren't the best anymore here in Iowa, but was wondering if this is normal for the 5.4s cause with my old truck granted it was a 4.6L 2wd i could drive it as hard as i wanted and still out lik 13 or 14 out of it. also my new truck has 3.55s and i do let it warm up in the mornings but not for two long 5-10 minutes

    so just wondering what you all get.

    that may be part of the problem but I agree with west, it may be timr for a tune-up
