Average MPG
My truck, 04 F-150 (see sig) with 3.73 gears and driving with a fairly heavy right foot, running the Edge on lvl2 (87 oct) plus some custom settings gets about 13mpg with mostly "city" driving, and around 17 on the highway. On lvl3 I ave. about 15mpg with mostly "city" driving, and I never took it on any long trips while running lvl3 so I can't tell you what the hwy mileage might be.
5.4 2wd screw 4.1 gearing, 32 inchx12 inch wide street tires, GREEN intake, Xcal2 87 per, and magnaflow catback, I get 12.3mpg all-around. HOWEVER, I do literally 90% city driving...lots of stop and go. AND, since the truck is my second vehicle now...I make sure to get the most fun out of it as possible when I do drive it, so I hammer it just about non-stop, lol.
Dad has a screw 4x4 with a tonneau and no other mods, he gets 14~ city, and he's bumped up to 22 freeway on trips...doing 75~

My '05 F-150 Supercrew 5.4L 4x4 with 3.55 gears normally gets 14.5-15.5 MPG in my normal mixed routine, gets around 13.5 MPG in mostly city driving, and I recently got a best 18.4 MPG on my trip to Arkansas this past weekend driving up and down the mountains doing anywhere from 35-65 MPH depending on the steepness of the slope and the tightness of the curve. I got 17.5 MPG on stretches where I was doing over 70 on the interstate. Oh yeah, I just hit 15k miles.
Im getting around 15 for an average. On the highway between 55 and 65 Im reading 22 from the Edge. I have a Reg cab 5.4 with 3.55 gears and Edge on 91 using 93 with timing up 1. I get about 1.5 mpg better with level 3 so it makes it worth the extra gas. I just finished another tank at 314 and 19 gallons so thats around 15-16 mpg average.
FWIW, tonight I decided to hit the reset on the "trip MPG" readout on my Lariat right after I got on the freeway. I set my cruise control to 65, on a fairly steep grade that gets the tractor trailers down to 50 or so for the most part.
I went for about 5 or 6 miles like this, and got around 14mpg. Got off, did about 2 miles surface roads and parked it at the GFs house. On my way home it was half downhill (backroads, so coasting a lot) and then the rest was mostly flat. by the time I got home my overall trip average was at 20.5 MPG. I did a little testing, and found with my 4.1 gearing my "best" speed was about 48MPH and that was when I was climbing towards 21 MPG.
My Dad has a tonneau, stock gearing (not sure on the ratio) and stock tires and he gets 20+ freeway. Gears will kill! haha
