Most of the time I am around 12-13 Cit but I am an agressive driver. When on the highway though, I get around 16-17. I have filled up before at over 460 miles and the gas light was not even on.

I have never owned a Ford. The 2008 close outs drop the price to a level worth looking at...I just move back to the US 2 months ago and with the way gas prices wereI bought a fuel efficient car...mistake I have always had pickups....I now can say I HATE cars....34-40MPG is nice but I am thinkin it is not worth it.....what wer eyou guys paying for fillups when Gas was close to $5 a Gal?

i get about 15-16. With enough clear pavement on the turnpike, I can easily tag 20 mpg. As for paying at the high point, I have the 35.7 gallon tank.....at 4.19 a gallon. I will NOT do the math.
