Default I don't get it.

I have a '95 f150, xlt, regular cab, auto, 302 and I'm getting 12 mpg tops in the city. I have no power upgrades(intake, exhaust, etc.). I changed the plugs and wires about a month ago(I was at 7mpg and the plugs and wires brought me to 12mpg). I ran a can of seafoam in both tanks about 3 weeks ago. I don't even drive it hard and I can't figure out why I'm getting that bad of mileage. Any ideas on how to fix that or if something is wrong? Thanks.

Evan

Ok thanks, I saw people with 5.4l getting 15-16 and thought something must be wrong. Thanks again.

O and that 12" JL you have, is that dual voice coals? My buddy has a 10 inch with dual voice coals and I hear they run $700+. But its well worth it for the quality and performance you get.
