I’d like to think I had a light foot but my hwy is usually 22-23 and city around 16. But I guess I do have to consider I have a small lift and bigger tires than stock. But even when it was stock I never got over 24 mpg. It only gets driven now when pulling something

My ecoboost F-150 will get better than that for the last 50 miles on the highway.

Nice new truck.

That is amazing mileage G.

I have 2010 5.3l, 6 speed, Z71, HD tow package with a 3.42 rear end. The best I have ever got on a tank is 15.3mpg driving conservatively. It usually averages 14.5mpg, but only drops to 13.5mpg when towing. There isn't a flat road around here though. I would be interested to do a hundred mile flat stretch to see what would happen.

My eco boost gets 13mpg pulling and around 20 highway but I have lower gears (373). G. That's insane good gas mileage, you better not sell that one because I don't know anyone else getting that out of any gas burner.
