Also, I wanted to add that heading south on I-25 from Cheyenne to Denver (which is basically all downhill 7K to 5280) at speeds of around 65-72 mph, depending on the busses I was following, my 30 min average was 26.2. I am taking my wife to Ft Collins for dinner tonight, I am going to try to keep it at 70 down and back and see what happens.

My 2012 FX2 is getting me 12.5 MPG when I used to get 15. Also, whenever I fill up, I used to get about 420 Miles to Empty and now I'm only averaging ~310. I have no idea what's happened. Only when I'm on a ~4hr drive does my truck do good.

2014 F-150 3.7 XLT 4x4 3.73 rear end. 40% city, 60% country roads with a light foot. I've seen up to 24+ on the way to the beach driving back roads the whole way averaging 50mph (very long flat roads). Speed plays the biggest factor with my truck once you start going over 60mph mpg starts to drop. The worst average I've had was 18.4 and that was caused by a lot of slow driving around the farm.

Wow - you even have the 3.73 rear end and you are getting waaay better gas mileage than I am - I have the one build for mileage and I average 13.6 per tank and I am split city / highway. I have driven with a light pedal - coasted to stops, etc... wish I could get close to what you are getting...
