I have every single tank of gas that I've ever put in my truck in my little book recorded with price, miles, and how many gallons. I do 80% city driving and my daily commute to work is around 4 miles total. Not even enough to get to normal operating temp. Anyways, on average I put 24 gallons in each fill up and get around 310-320 per tank = 13.3 mpg. Magna-flo, AF1, and no Gryphon installed yet. I drove to Lake Erie the other day and filled up and it averaged 14.58 mpg.

So far this year, the 100% bone stock 2007 FX4 is getting 14.8 MPG all city driving. Cross country trips were a mixed bag. I get 17 MPG at low altitude and high speed (75 MPH+), and 21 MPG at higher altitude and lower speeds (55-65 MPH). That's with a payload of about 600 pounds in the bed.

18.6 last week during a Yellowstone tour. Almost all highway miles with a wide range of speeds and inclines/hills.

No mods.

shes not a scew or a 5.4L, but my SupCab 4.2L can do 21 mpg all highway, avg 17.6 all city. impressive numbers you guys are posting up. i guess it needs less gas to move a truck when you have more power.

How much does your truck weigh?!

And the more power comes from a larger engine which requires MORE gas.

Fuel (liquid Gold) Economy

The best i have ever got with my 07 S-CREW 4X4 6.5' box is 17.1 mpg and this was with 95% highway driving. I usually drive around 80% flat just above sea level highway driving and get around 16 mpg.

How much would a performance intake and exhaust add to fuel mileage? I would throw a tailgate party and celebrate if i could run 18's on the highway.

My Milage

I used to get about 16 miles per gallon when I had 3:55's in the rear. Now that I have installed 4:10's I get about 14. Towing I get about 11 to 12. Depends on how much city driving I have to do. But it sure pulls the trailer easier. It used to take a mile or two to get to 65 unless I floored it. Now it does it very quickly. Taking off from a light is much easier also.

These milage figures are from my Edge Evo in level 2. My milage was worse before I got it.

I have a 2wd and I only get 18.4, all city. I am shocked that the 4x4 does not get much worse than my 4x2. I would have bought a 4x4. I baby the hell out of the gas and since I go to work at 5:00 AM, the stop lights turn into yield signs. I do get 26.8 on the interstate.

Imagine how bad I feel. I've got a 4.2 reg cab 2wd with automatic. Babying it driving back and forth to work I can get 20 mpg. On a road trip averaging 65-70 mph I average 17.5 mpg.
Dang, I could have had a V-8!
