In the summer about 11.5 in the city, on country roads with the cruise set at 55 I can get 16. Eway doing 85 and passing peoplei get around 14. In the winter I get about 9-10 in the city. And towing/hauling up to 3000 lbs, I only lost maybe 1 mpg with my fishing boat weighing around 3000. Oh, truck is 2003 f150 fx4 supercrew, 5.4, 3.73 gears, stock 265/70r17 tire size with gotts mod and just went from flowmaster 10 to no muffler. Hope this helps.

2003 5.4 190,000kms. Winter time highway driving about 16-17. Summer under 115km/hr about 21-22. I have cold air intake, TBS, and superchips programmer on mileage XS tune. 32" tires and torsion bars cranked. Pretty good IMO

I've got a 99 xcab stepside 4x4. Im not 100% sure on the mpgs. But I just wanna see what crew cabs are getting. Probably the same as a xcab. I've got 33x12.50/17 mud grapplers and dual exhaust no muffler on my 99 5.4.

I have 5.4L, e-fans, K&N Intake, and Edge Evolution...average 13ish-14ish. I have a heavy foot though. I could prolly get 16ish by driving the speed limit.

I live these 99-03 body styles. Don't know if I wanna stick to that year or get a 04- up. I had. 2010 lariat crew 4x4 and loved it but didn't want the payment so I sold it for payoff.

15mpg mixed in my 2003 FX4 SuperCrew 4.6L over the last 10 tanks. 305/70R16 tires, Gotts mod, 3.73 gears, DiabloSport programmer.

Previously, I was getting about 12.5mpg mixed. At 150k I replaced the leaky aluminum intake manifold with the updated plastic version, new plugs, new coils, new fluids and filters. Idle is smooth and mileage is top notch.

That 15mpg is at Colorado altitude with 10% ethanol (87 octane) and GPS-logged mileage.
