Yes, thanks, I'm happy so far. I have a sense I'm going to see around 21-22 as my "overall" mileage. I think I could do real well driving "hypermileage" style but I just can't do it for very long.

Is this how all new members are treated around here?
Thats exactly what I said, if he has an opinion I am cool with that..I never said what he had the right to say or not say ..all I did was question why someone would come on a MPG thread, direct a question towards me why I care about MPG, all I did was respond the the wise cracking way ..didn't mean to chap the poor little fellows feelings, maybe I could make it up to him and give him a participation trophy.And seriously I know these are trucks and if you look i am a new member, is this how new members are treated...just forget the whole drama I had rather associate with grown ups

Sounds like this is your forum with you calling some guy out.
Not ford truck owners thread.
You derailed the thread yourself.
Let people be people.
We all can learn and figure out things together.

I was having some vacuum line issues so my hubs were staying locked. Finally got my vacuum back last night so looking forward to seeing how much my MPG's improve. Will report back.

2003, 4x4, 3" body lift, 5.4, 3.55 gears (not ideal), e-fans, and 34x11.50 Toyo ATs. My running average keeps me hovering around 14.5 mpg with a 60/40 hwy/city mix.
