This past week I took my brand new Lariat Crew 4x4 5.4L from Phoenix to San Diego, about 370 miles each way. Gassed up in Phoenix, immediately got on the freeway and didn't stop until San Diego. Trip computer showed a peak of 18 mpg but ended with an average of 17. Did the same for the trip back but had a final mpg of 16.4, probably a little lower due to fighting some pretty good quartering head winds a lot of the way back. This was all without a tonneau cover at average speeds of 75 to 80. I ordered an Extang Tuff Tonno III but it didn't arrive until I had left for the trip.
I have it installed now so I'll be checking for any mileage change with it on. By the way, does anybody have a problem with this model of tonneau, or any model, not being real taut? While driving down the freeway at 70-80 I'm seeing a lot of sag and movement from the wind. This is my first tonneau and was wondering if this is normal.

I get just over 17 on highway trips (from NC to VA and back), and around 12-13 around town. I have not seen mine get much over 17, ever, no matter how I drive.
These things are gas hogs, no way around it. Although, they are better than the '88 Jeep Wrangler I used to have. I was happy when I got anything above 10 mpg!!

hey I am just about to get my licence in a little over a month and would like some help on deciding if a truck is right for me. I have narrowed it down to either an 06 or 07 XLT supercrew FX4 5.5 ft bed. I was wondering what the gas mileage is for this truck. I am mostly going to do rural city driving. So i would say about 80/20 city to highway driving. Could you guys give me some information on what your average gas mileage is for this kind of driving?

'04 5.4
4x4
straight pipe with factory cats
'gotts' mod
3.73
really heavy 295/70 18 Trail Grapplers
Bakflip G2 cover
level kit
bug shield
I think the last two items on that list do the least for mileage.
Even at almost 105,000 miles I average 13.5 in town and between 14.5 and 17 highway depending on the terrain.
