My 2011 FX4 is supposed to get 27mpg according to the window sticker, I am currently getting 17-19mpg and I never expect to see 27mpg from my truck. I dont waste time doing calculations or spreadsheets, but I guess everyone needs a hobby eh...
Regardless of what you drive most people do care about fuel economy. I'd say a majority of guys and gals on here do care and want to get the best economy they can out of their pickup trucks. Most folks don't have an unlimited supply of $$$$$$.

6'9", 255 and not concerned with fuel economy, why didn't you get a Super Duty?!?!?!?!

27 mpg in Canada, as our gallon is bigger.

I do care about my mpg, I just dont see the need to spend more money on my truck to try and get better fuel economy ie breathers, programmers, exhaust or whatever the case may be. When you buy the truck the window sticker clearly states what the mpg should be around, yet most trucks will never perform what the window sticker says....

And my FX4 supercrew is just as big inside as a superduty, so I didnt see the point!

It's totally pointless comparing mpg because there's like a million different factors that can alter the numbers.
