Ok, maybe I cheated a little. But I did get 73 MPG in the Smoky Mountains...on the way DOWN the mountain! LOL I got 9.2 MPG going up the same stretch.

 

That is so Awsome! I want to do that... but... there are only hills here... not mountians.

 

Take that Honda!!

 

I could live with the 41.1 average for the trip!

 

I got 99.9 coming down the east side of the North Cascades Highway this fall. Should have taken a picture...

 

I dont get it...why is everyone bitc*** on here about how these trucks suck gas?? Guess they'd complain if you hung em with a new rope!

 

I'm still hoping for a year the "F150 HYBRID" will come out! LOL

 

I seem to average around 15.2 around home with a mix of city and highway driving...but my foot is a little heavy I like to hear my V8.

 

I am. I'm sure they would make some sort of engine that could tow more than just a paper clip... maybe a Pop Tab

 

That is the beauty of the future of hybrid's. They will be more powerful than just gas engines and get much better gas mileage. Look at the Honda Accord Hybrid, it is more powerful and gets better mileage than the gas powered only Accord. Chevy even has a Silverado hybrid for sale currently. It sucks, but at least its a start.
I give Ford a few more years, and we will see a hybrid F-150!

 

I think you'll see a small 6 cyl diesel first.

 

electric motors have crazy torque, think of diesel electrics.......like a train.

 

I'm pleased with my return trip milage coming back from Gatlinburg. I kept the speed at 80 to 83/84 mph most of the time (watching for cops and good hiding places for them ) and I averaged 16.7 mpg I had reset my gauge once I hit the highway. Outside temp was about 45 to start around 65 when I got home. Road was interstate with rolling hills and 1 mountain (around Jelico, TN). But mostly light rolling hills - not completely flat.

 

I Just got back from a trip to the Smokies and I was very suprised with my MPG, I filled up in Ashville NC got on 40 to 75 and had to refill in Ohio can rebember where but I was running 80mph and got 18mpg

 

I ordered the 35.7 gallon tank in mine so i can usually get 500 miles out of a tank
