Eco and 5.0, What Does Your 'Trip B' Read?
Most of us don't reset the 'Trip B' often and I feel it'll give a decent estimate of the mpgs we're actually getting with Fords premier motors.
Note what you feel is pertinent such as, hwy/city, oversized tires, towing, upgrades, etc...
It'd be nice to keep responses brief in regards to usage so we can scan through the thread observing the results without a lot of reading.
76:21 204.7
3377.7 16.4
5.0, stock 20", shared hwy/city.

Mine is reading 16.0mpg as of this morning 3200 miles
95% in town, stop and go. 5% 75mph + highway. No pulling as of yet.
Did have some tuning done during this time, ran a CAI for some time, truck is stock now though.
EDIT: I should add I idle my truck a lot.

Sorry, but I have reset both meters several times. Anyway, I keep track with Fuelly.com. My truck's stats are at the following link:
http://www.fuelly.com/driver/cwrose/f150
This is about 80% small town/city driving. Couple weeks of -20 to -40F weather, and lots of idling.

I know that I have over 4000 miles from my business log of towing 3000 lbs all in town with trips less than 1-2 miles. I have less than 500 miles highway unloaded. About 1000 miles highway loaded extremely heavy. The rest is unloaded.
couldn't be any happier. Im right at the epa city rating and most of this is extremely short towing trips.

Configuration is in my sig. I'm at 3,100 miles and 17.1 mpg for the life of the truck, 50/50 mix of highway/city. I can tell cold weather and winter gas is killing the mileage though. Last weekend on a 500 mile trip, I got 21.5 mpg at 60 mph and 20.3 at 70 mph, fairly flat terrain running at a couple degrees above freezing.

Configuration in sig. About 2500 miles spent hauling my Polaris 850 ATV (approx 950lbs with addons) and in the woods hunting. Also some trailer towing with 2 ATV's on the back, total about 2500lbs. My trip to work each day is roughly 8 miles, half through 30mph zone, other half is 70mph hwy which is all hill. Also, starting to get cold here, so thats dropped my mileage a bit.
Accidently reset my Trip B one day, so I dont have the overall mileage of the truck.
