after 8000 miles, my fuel consumption remains relatively poor.
also found that the computer is off by about 8%. it thinks it's getting better mileage than it is. the computer says 14.5 after a tank of fuel every time...but it also says i've only burned 31gl, when i've actually burned 33.
this truck has the 3.73 gears and has a retrax cover on the bed. always unloaded and running the 20" wheels. love the truck, it just doesn't get the mileage that's advertised, in my experience. no hot-rodding either. half highway, half city. that said, it will do near 22mpg strictly highway.

My computer is dead on as long as I don't top off. One other thing, are your gallons off at different stations? Could be the pump at the station is off. I had one place where that happened.

i fill up until the pump stops, and usually use different stations all the time.

It a guy at work with a 5.0 in a 2011 F150 went to the local drag strip and out ran 4 EB in a row. I also saw a utube videos of the same. The EB are not a race motor it is a perfect work motor. And that is what we won't..
