I drive my 09 Platinum 100 miles a day (mostly) on the autobahn here in Germany. I'd venture that you were going down hill with a tail wind to get that high over 80. I've driven mine for my commute at all speeds and found:
60-65 @ 20.1
70-75 @ 19.4
80-85 @ 18.2
90+ @ 17.0
P.S. I run Royal Purple motor oil and a K&N Drop in Air Filter. It DOES make a difference

From that same "Fuel Mileage Seems Strange" Thread ...
^^^ Yep, that sure IS strange ...
Another thing - driving a pickup truck-shaped barn door @ 90 mph while concurrently discussing mileage is the very definiton of a non-sequitur ... W. T. F

Your fuel mileage should be fairly well diminished at speeds of 85-90. You can't always believe the computer, but I use mine to try and help me be more mindful of how I am driving by seeing how high I can keep the average. The very lowest speed I can get my truck to shift into 6th is 41 mph indicated. I drove along for a few miles after resetting my average mpg computer once I got rolling and it was cranking out around 32 mpg until I finally had to stop at a light. It started dropping fast even while sitting at the light. My guess is that at 85-90, your truck would probably be getting closer to 16-17 mpg. Driving the speed limit should get you 20+ mpg.

I said something similar upon my very first-ever visit to a Ginormous USA WallyMart Supercenter ..." So much food, so little time ..." (then replace 'food' with 'beer', and repeat)

I don't know how your POS n/a trucks get less than 20 mpgs, I drive my green truck hard and I get better than 16 mpgs with it and it's supercharged

What's up guys,
I got a 5.4, FX2, 2008, SC and looking to get a cold air intake and later a performance (Evolution Programmer, Crypto..). Any tips which air intake would be a good choice?
I've found a variety, chrome and composite pipe. I've read somewhere that the composite pip supposed to be better.
Then i found a post where people swear on the RAM type of intake, which points to the front.
