Gas mileage?

Don't know where some of these guys are getting such high mpg but I have a 2010 4.6 that's my weekend driver. It reads 13-14 on the dash for normal driving and about 18mpg at 65 mph on flat land. My work truck is a 2012 with a 5.0 and it gets about the same. That mpg is said to be about standard for the 8 f150s in the local company fleet.
Moved a coworkers truck that never leaves town the other day and his had 10.5 on the dash with about 500lbs in the back.
The company trucks never haul more than a few hundred pounds and are pure stock.

The old 01, 5.4, 2-valve got 17-20 on he interstate depending on speed, wind, etc.....
City was no more than 12-14.
If I remembered to pickup the gas on Tuesday at Pure (no ethanol) I could get the 89 octane for the same price as 87. It would get 1-2 miles better and ran better too.
I've tried high test, but it was, well.....just never worth it.
Shell 89 worked a little better than most others too.
Shop around, but your right in the ballpark now for mileage.

I have only owned my 2010 since July and been getting 11 to 12 city. Think I got mid 14s on a mix tank. Haven't had it long enough to take it on a full all highway run so curious what that will yield me. I have the 3.73 rear end so I figure if I get 18 to 19 that will be good. My city diving is usually short trips too which I know hurt.
