Ok i have a 4.6 and i get around 15/17Mpg and other people i know have the 5.4 and they get 14/16Mpg shouldnt they be getting less the that i meen or should i be getting more because the 4.6 is a smaller engine and it would seem like it would be a lot better then the 5.4 not just a mile or two?

Basically from the ppl with f150s I know, the 5.4 gets 11-12, the 4.6 gets 13-14.. that's why I got the 5.4 because the difference wasn't enough.. they both get BAD gas mileage

 

I average around 15MPG mixed with the 5.4. I'd say that's pretty good for a 6000lb vehicle. People's driving habits vary as well as elevation and surroundings. We can't all get the same.

 

finally an honest mpg figure i have a 4.6 4X4 s/cab and i get 13-14 and this is actually figuring the miles driven and dividing the # of gallons to f-up the tank. 14 when i keep my foot out and 13 when i, well you know. this is stop and go city driving.

 

i have the 5.4 4X4 supercrew

i get 15.5/19...i'm at 11,000 on the odometer right now

 

These numbers are similar to what I get (11.4 to 14.2). Also I totally agree with what jjg052590 is saying.

 

15-17 and i have checked and re checked its 15-17 no joke but ok if you get 13-14 then nevermind there was no reason for this thread because apparently the people i know are either crazy or lieing.... lol

I get 12 like however i drive it lol

 

I get 15-17 with my 5.4l 3v (if I keep my foot out of it).
I have a Volant CAI unit.

 

They get almost the same. In fact, the EPA sticker has them exactly the same. I think the only savings is in the initial cost (just under $900 MSRP)

 

I get 16 mpg with my 04 Super Cab (4.6). It is your driving habits!!! People that pound the gas pedal get bad MPG. If you don't your MPG will be up. You decide your MPG.

 

I live in the country and drive 15-miles to work everyday. I've been getting just over 17mpg consistently in my reg-cab 6.5' bed 2wd 5.4L.

 

I usually get lower mileage on my vehicles compared to what other people get.

I mean, my '00 Mustang 3.8L 5-speed-manual (41,000 miles) can get only 15-16 mpg (Ford said it should get 20 mpg), my '97 Intrepid 3.5L 4-speed-automatic (97,000 miles) can only get ~15 mpg (Dodge said it should get 17 mpg, so its not a huge difference), and my '05 F-150 SuperCab 4x4 4.6L (3,600 miles) never get more than 11-12 mpg.

 

the quickest way to raise your MPG is to quit making jackrabbit takoffs. ease into the throttle and slowly accelerate. I can consistently get 15 mpg in the city by doing this. i've seen 19 mpg on the highway with cruise set at 65 mph

however, I do have a lead foot, so I usually range 13-15 mpg because I like to utilize the power of my 5.4

 

Tylus... you hit the nail on the head! Along with the other post about not hammering the throttle off the line. If you don't drive these trucks like they are race cars, you will be rewarded with decent MPG. I drive mine without jumping the gas off the lights and see 16-18 on a mixed drive. It is 30 miles one way to work. The speed limit is between 35 and 55. I do 35 in the 35 zones (about 7 miles) and I usually set cruise at 63 the rest of the way. No problems to date!
