Default 5.0 People who commute w/ city traffic, what fuel mileage are you getting

I knew my 5.0 wouldn't be good on gas, but im averaging like 12.1 mpg on the display. It was about 12.5 before installing the 5 star tunes, and im not that heavy on the throttle.

Sound normal to you?

15-16 MPG per dash display, city driving, only 3500 miles on the truck to date, not even broken in.
Probably will go down some more with b/s winter blend gas.
3:55's

Is that what the display says or are you calculating yourself? When i first got the truck, the display was reading like 16ish, but after i reset the mileage stats it's now reading 12ish. I dont get it.

'14 5.0 SuperCab 4x4, no tune, no mods that would affect performance, no level or lift, still on stock tires with stock 20" wheels. Approaching 19k miles.

Was getting 19 mpg all summer.
Now that winter is here it has dropped to 17.5-18 mpg. I'm on my second tank of winter flavored gas.

I have a 16 mile ride to work on back roads. I do the math manually at every fill up, but my computer seems to be spot on... Maybe .1 or .2 off on a bad week.

14 5.0 Supercrew, 3.55, stock 20s, no tune, 8900 miles
16 city.
We run on reformulated gas here.

I've been a little disappointed with the mileage since my 09 Scab with 3.55 and 5.4 got 18-19 on same commute.
