I am at 2800 miles and averaging around 14.5 in the same driving conditions as yourself. As I am tracking my milage as I go along I have noticed a very slight improvement average, but only .2 or .3 mpg since I crested the 1000 mile mark.

THANK'S, AFTER 3 OR 4 THOUSAND MILES I PLAN TO GO TO A DIFFERENT AIR INTAKE SYSTEM, EXHAUST & MAY BE SOME REPROGRAMING HOPEFULLY I'LL GET BETTER ALL AROUND PERFORMANCE, REGARDLESS I LOVE THIS TRUCK!!

Same here with the driving conditions, I have 1600 miles and get about 13.2 mpg. So I too hope it improves with time. Keep us posted if your air intake and other mods improve your mileage.

HAS ANYONE ELSE CHECKED THERE MPG?

between 14.7 and 15.2 depends on city and highway

My mileage is climbing, up to 12.0 at this point. Bear in mind that it's all short trips and every one of them ends with a half mile climb up a muddy road to my house. When I reset the computer after a fill-up, it reads as high as 22 mpg cruising along at 40 mph on a flat road. I haven't had a chance to do any extended highway driving to get a feel for how it would do there.

I've got a reg cab 5.4 2WD and average 15.5 with a high of 16.5 in mostly combino city/hwy at 2850 miles.

under 11 here, with some highway miles as well---very disgusted--no where near where they predict---have had two tanks now, and both under 11----I dont rev up at every take off, drive easy---on interstate I will ride 77-80, but drive smooth------hope it will change------love this truck though----great ride!

About 12 mpg pulling my boat, 13-15 otherwise. I don't look for it to improve. I got 4800 miles on my truck and my last ford wasn't this good. I didn't buy it for the gas mileage anyway....:D

Take a look at this thread!

I'm still getting just over 15 mpg!

Here's my breakdown with my '04 Lariat SuperCab 4x4

1) 15.29 (426.0 miles / 27.87 gal)
2) 13.29 (305.4 miles / 22.97 gal)
3) 15.38 (498.6 miles / 32.41 gal)

Overall, I'm at 14.77 with a good mix of city and highway driving and a few warm-ups in between. Given the winter fuel, combination of highway/city driving and several warm-ups, I'm satisfied with my average MPG.

Hope this helps,
E
