Ok, as a person who has ford trucks and suvs which all them get under 14 combined mpg. I was wondering what any of you get for mileage on yours.
No complaining, just curious. My 1988 f-350 centurion dually with the gear vendor overdrive gets 10 highway/city no matter how i drive it.

1989 F-250 HD,460, C-6 with 4.10 gears. 10 mpg on a GOOD day. It typically gets 8, or as little as 6 pulling the camp trailer. The good thing is that sometimes I forget the trailer is behind me when I am towing it!
 
I get 16-17 mpg on a trip if i'm nice to it on the monthly 800 mile commute but around town @ $8.02/usgal its too scary to think about - normally use my diesel nissan van as diesel fuel is cheaper at $5.55/usgal.

9-10 on the F-Superduty... Gears don't help that at all. Or weight. Or being a 7.3. :D

95 F150 351w lifted on 33s with 4.10 gears-- 12 mpg.

Mileage also didn't change much when I swapped from 3.55s to 4.10s (keeping the same tires).

94 F150

Standard Cab, Long Bed.

351w, 3.55 gear. 2wd. Slightly oversized tires (265/70/15). Close to 31".

On the highway I'd look at somewhere around 16 mpg, but that was an old worn out motor...
