I ahve an 03 and getting 14 or so mpg. Is your vehicle 4x4 or 4x2?

My 97 maxes out at about 16.5 highway and much much much worse around town. Some of this I am sure is my driving habots though. And its 4x4.

17.8 is probably pretty good for a 5.4 with no mods. I'm told a chip will help with fuel mileage but you'll prob. have to run premium gas (more$$$$). As far as the ride-- these thing are sprung simular to the f150s so they have a little rougher ride. The 03's got independent rear suspension so they ride smoother than the 97 thru 02's do. Air pressure has some effect on ride, if you are running max pressure try airing them down a few pounds.

19-20 with my 99 5.4L with 115k miles @ 80 mph on the hwy. City sucks only aroun 14. But I don't pay for my gas thank goodness work does.

16.5 around town. 4.6 4x2 with 3:31 gears. A chip can help mileage but with the added power you tend to use it more and then your mileage will drop

My 2000 5.4 , 4x2 get 17.5 more or less on the highway and around town maybe ... maybe 12.0 mpg . But I noticed it was alot lower around the city in the Winter. Sumtimes as low as 7.4
