What kind of car is that? It doesn't look like the gauge of a F150...

Is that an Edge or Five Hundred?

I didn't realize they made a special ugly guage cluster for it... is that thing really beige?

Hmmmm - wonder what I'm doing wrong??? Best I've ever seen was 15.9 on a trip between Northern Virginia and South Carolina (on vacation), all highway, gas station to gas station. That's on the truck in my signature block (also a 5.4 3v).

I see 19-20 all highway at 65-70, above that it drops. I average around 15-16 mixed. 3.55LS and 5.4L. My gauges in my Lariat look the same, the only thing different on the KR is that it says "King Ranch" in the middle instead of "Lariat".
