mpg for '06 Scab
I couldn't believe it...had to double check it....After adding an ARE LSll fiberglass bed cap to my '06 F150 Scab...I took a trip to Chattanooga, Tn from Knoxville 190 miles round trip... averaged about 68 mph...tallied the mpg and to my amazement, I got 23.75 mpg....not the standard 18.5-19.5 mpg I usually get.....not bad for a 5.4 w/3.55 gears...don't know if it's attributed to the cap or the Shell gas I used (normally use Exxon) what ever the cause...hopes it remains...lol

That's fantastic... Even driving down a mountain I've never seen mileage that nice!

I calculate my mileage every time I fill up.....I use a calculator, that I keep in my truck just for that purpose. I'll check the mileage on my next extended road trip and use Exxon gas this time and see if its the same or drops to the 19.5 mpg as usual. If it does...I'll start using Shell gas instead....
