Exhaust smells like the truck is running rich

A couple of smell threads here.

The exhaust on my 2000 V10 smells like it's running rich. You all know what that smells like.

Also, on my last tank, I got 10.5 MPG which seems slightly (but not a lot) low.

No codes are being thrown.

Any suggestions on what I should do to lean out the mix a little or otherwise investigate the problem?

I'm not a mechanic but my last vehicle that did that had a bad fuel pressure regulator. 1994 Explorer. The inside of the tailpipe was sooted up and the mileage went to crap.
