(when there are about 10 other MPG threads already created). But one member felt the need the need to brag about his 26.1 MPG in a 10 mile trip......so it continues.

Oh goodie, a chance to post a picture of my dash after a run from Rockford IL to Dubuque IA. Yeah, we had a tailwind but we drove the speed limit for the most part and it's a bit hilly. It's an XLT, 3.7, not sure what kind of transmission I've got, 2wd. The truck is new with stock fluids so I hope there is some room for improvement here. Just saying...I'm loving it!

that's not bad at all, Fastskiguy. that's got a longer trip, some descent gas used, and pretty good mpg!
(MUCH better than Trey K's 28.1 mpg driving 8 miles to work and using .2/gal gas)! LOL
Mine's just short of 20. but most of mine is city driving (186 miles total)

Trey K, if i'm annoying, you can always put me on /ignore, or just ignore the thread completely.
See, its REALLY easy.... go ahead, try it...

What the hell is your deal? It's pretty annoying and I know I'm not the only one who feels that. I'm sorry you don't like that I actually get good mileage and your truck doesn't. My 2011 F250 super duty also gets great mileage. My brother's 2012 F150 5.0 gets about 12, which sucks. You've already showed your dislike on the subject and voiced your opinions and it's time to move on and get a life.

This is a 30 mile round trip. It was mostly flat but again it was a round trip, meaning I turned around and came back to where i started. Read the video description. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4EB...e_gdata_player

Trey K---I don't want to be the one bursting your bubble but I have a question......how come if you only burned a little over one gallon of gas your fuel gauge moved so much? From all indications by the fuel gauge you burned a couple of gallons since it moved so much.
