Canadian L/100km Usage Comparisons
Well I thought I would start a Canadian thread to see what everyone's fuel efficiency is at.
To make it more interested, I have added a few categories and you can fill in the blanks so that we can see how you drive as well. Feel free to copy and paste.
Current 18L/100km
City Driving 85%
Highway Driving 15%
Engine 5.4L
Factory Exhaust/Air Intake
Current average temperatures Celsius -4
I think if I didn't have a lead foot I would get better mileage. Sometime I will reset the fuel efficiency gauge and really try to have slow smooth take offs, paying close attention to the gear shifting and I can get between 14-15 L/100kms, which I think is pretty good. Highways I can get 12L/100kms if I keep it around 105kms.
Lets see what is out there.

Current 14.7L/100km
City Driving 35%
Highway Driving 65%
Model: '13 4x4 SCREW with short box
Engine 5.0L
3.73 gears
Performance Exhaust/ OEM Air Intake
Leer truck cap
Current average temperatures Celsius -10 or colder, recently -24
Trying to keep it below 120kph. The sweet spot for this engine is around 85-95 but that won't work on the highway. The above fuel economy is from about 110 km/hr while on the highway and really trying hard to feather it in town. The cold weather really takes a bite out of fuel use and a heavier foot would see the above figure of 14.7 jump to 18 in a second it not trying to get good usage. Bonus: the truck will last longer with a lighter driving style.
Running winter tires, winter gas and just added a Leer cap to the back which has settled the truck right down and actually seems to have improved on fuel economy. Will know better on the latter item in a week or so.

Model: '12 Supercrew 6.5' box, Max Tow with Mirrors, 3.73 gears.
Engine 3.5L Ecoboost
Factory Everything
Bakflip fiberglass bed cover
Stock 18" wheels and 275/65/R18 tires and 17" wheels and 265/75/R17 Goodyear winter tires.
Current average temperatures Celsius: -10 and colder, currently -26
The truck is a second vehicle so most of its mileage that I have tracked is highway miles with either a draggy bike rack on the back, or towing. I also always run Shell V-Power, or the other brands 91 octane gas when Shell is unavailable
It seems to average 20-22 L/100km while towing a 4 place snowmobile trailer with front ramps between 110 and 120 km/h to the mountains.
Driving to work unloaded (~46km drive one way almost all highway and freeway to an industrial area) it seems to average 12-13.5 L/100km depending on how much I city drive.
I have noticed that I can sometimes get better economy city driving, as I try to coast as much as possible, avoiding the brakes. The extra weight of the truck makes this very easy vs my Jetta TDI, and I have driven the consumption down as low as 10 L/100km. On the highway, trying to maintain 120km/h keeps enough of a load on the engine that it pushes the consumption up to as high as 14 L/100km unloaded.
Here is a fuelly link with some amusing graphs showing exactly when hooked up the trailer.
