    I pretty much average around 15 and don't do much city driving.

    I just got 18.3mpg!
    And here's the proof [​IMG]


    This was done in 2hrs and 20mins for an average of 60mph. The first 30min were into a strong headwind that caused my instant mpg to show 10-11!

    My biggest change to the truck recently was adding a plywood bed cover, I guess that my 8ft bed had a lot of drag!
    I also have my Edge adjusted to drop into O/D 3mph sooner, running larger tires (speedo is off 4%), timing adjust 2.25*, and ran midgrade (88.5) the last 3 tanks.

    I voted 16-18. With my 4.6L, 3.55 ls, stock tires, Gotts mod and new custom 87 perf tune on the Gryphon.
    I was getting about 13-15 when I had my WASHOOBI installed with custom tunes. My truck gets much better mileage now without a CAI.

    Wtf is a WAHOOBI ? Your mpg is pretty common either way, how fast are you driving on the highway?

    13-16 mpg.

    I knew what I was getting into when I traded in my '05 Hyundai Elantra with a 2.0 4 banger and 5 speed for my '06 F150 4x4 with a 5.4 v8.

    I just wanted a truck. Blame it on country music I suppose.

    I've been getting a steady 16.6-17.0 the last two months. No lie I don't know why. But I'm definitely not complaining
