3.7 gas miles
I just took a trip in Fl. for a few days. 1139.6 miles useing 61 gal.s of gas and it came out 18.6 mpg. Thats at 70-75 miles per hour. Not to bad I don't think. Bill in orlando.

Mine is not doing that good, only 15.3 hiway mpg and country back roads averages less than 14 mpg 3.7 v6 6 speed auto. It's setting at Dunn Benson Ford this morning I'm kinda disappointed because my 1994 gets over 20 mpg.

averaged more hwy than city
For the last tank of gas. 65-75 most of the tank, with some around town driving. average the last few days has been from 21.0-21.3
I am very happy with 21 with some city driving in there. I use mid grade fuel because I think it just runs better. Use it in my motorcycle as well
I also found keeping up the air pressure in the tires is important to the mpg's

Love my truck, 2013 XLT but disappointed with the 3.7. Always been a V8 guy. But the wife liked this truck and no 5.0 was available. Always felt a V6 had to strain thus using more gas.

Sucks to hear of your bad experience. Fortunately for the reputation of this motor, you seem to be in the minority.
