new Magnaflow

Recently had a new Magnaflow put on my 2008 F150 in place of the stocker. Since replacing with the Magnaflow my MPGs have dropped from 13.2 to 11.8 -12MPG. This is the third Magnaflow I have had and the only one which has decreased my MPG. Any ideas on what might be causing this? Thanks.

I gained with mine... I am light on my gas pedal. I never understood why people stomp on it. I love low rpm cruising sounds with duals
