I just bought my 2015 F150 3.5 V6 non turbo. I have 2 months with it. I have noticed that my truck consumes alot of gas fast. Is this a veey common thing with these trucks.

No, but this time of year in the northeast we usually lose about 2 MPGs due to winter blend fuel and cold weather.
Not sure if you have to deal with winter blend fuel or not? But rumor has it Cali gas is crap.

What exactly is you mileage? Consumes fast is not a unit of measure. Don't use the dash mileage as it is not accurate. Fill your gas tank to the first click of the refuel nozzle. Note your odometer reading. Drive normally for say 100 miles. Refuel again to the first click. Divide the gallons added by the difference in the odometer readings. That will give you your mileage.
Are your tires inflated to the recommended value of the door jam? Do you have larger tires/wheels from stock?
If you're looking for a truck with good gas mileage, you are going to be disappointed. Look at the front end and think aerodynamics, that engine is pushing a brick through the air.

If you're used to driving econobox cars any truck consumes a lot more gas. It's all relative. Most of the time my truck will get 15ish for normal everyday driving and about 19 mpg hwy. And for what it is I consider that good. Truck specs are below in my sig line

Some specs about your truck will help.

What configuration (single cab, SCREW, SCAB, 2WD/4WD)?
What are your calculated MPG's?
Is your truck stock with factory sized tires?
What type of driving do you do (hauling, city, highway, speed demon pedal-to-the-metal)?

If you haven't already, check out Fuelly against other trucks with your configuration. It'll give you an idea about where your mileage stands.

Try what Dave suggested to give us an idea of what your actual MPG's are right now.
Also, be sure to tell us if that is mostly city or freeway driving.

Not knowing what your previous vehicles have been, using "a lot of gas" is very subjective.
For me, my current truck is the most fuel efficient vehicle that I've had in 25 years, so I'm very impressed.
My wife, who has been driving small SUVs (think CR-V and MKC), she would not be very impressed with my fuel mileage (if she ever compared the two...but in reality she doesn't give two flips about mileage ).

What did you drive before the truck?
