Quick drop in miles till E and bad MPG
I noticed today that my needle on my gas gauge seemed like it dropped from the better half of 3/4 to the lower half rather quickly. I went home from my buds house which is like 3 miles max, and according to my truck i went from 265 till E to 254 till E. Maybe it is because i dont usually watch the miles till E, i just check it every ones in awhile along with my mpg. Am i just paranoid, or has this happened to someone else? Also, as of now im getting 11.8 MPG 
What is everyone else getting? Anyone got ideas to get up to 13 or so? I have the 5.4

Well I know on my 5.4 I get 15.2 and have for a long time. I'm not sure how all that digital stuff works but I'm sure that it can go up and down as all the fuel in your tank swishes around. Especially if you go up or down steep hills. IMO it's nothing to worry about.
