Default 13 mpg

Is this pretty average? Im getting this at every fill up. Im stock hight with 31" tires, I mostly do city driving and im a very calm driver. My cousin with a single cab, 6 inch lift and 35s gets about 15, hee mostly does highway driving and only fills up with mid grade chevron gas. And his driving style is very similar to mine. So is somthing up with my truck or is my milage normal?

I'm getting between 15 and 16 on 2WD 5.4 1998 F250 LD after chaging PCV Valve and adding a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil to 5W 30 weight oil last oil change. Before that I was getting between 14 and 15. I am about 50/50 on highway/city driving though.
