12 Mpg Help!!!
12-14 is about what your going to get on these 5.4's, street, hwy, it all averages out in the end. im @ 13.4 currently. It sucks, but we made our bed by buying such big *** truck so.... Either sell it and look like every other gomer in a prius, or just grin and bear it.
If i drove how id LIKE TO, id be getting 5-9 mpg im sure.

Yeah, I mean i'm a lil above the moderate driver level persay. I do punch it every
now and then. I'm going to be doing intake-exhaust shortly and i'm hoping to get some info off of here telling me if teh majority are seeing some increases in MPG
...BTW i only live 6 miles from work
Other than that, I love this truck...

That's just a Ford for ya. Had an 00 before this 04. This truck gets 12-14 everyday driving, about 2 mpg better then my 00. If you want economy get a Chevy. If you want dependability and very few repairs, stay with the Ford...
