V10 Mileage???

This weekend I took the rig on it's longest trip of it's short life. It was about 180 miles each way. I was towing nothing and had cruise set on about 70 the whole way. I forgot to check mileage on the way down until I had already done about 60 miles of in town driving but I still got 13.93 MPG. On the way home I got 15.12 MPG all of which was highway except about 15 miles. Is this good, bad, or average for a V10??

BTW..I got some new pics of my Billet grill that I installed last night..http://photos.yahoo.com/cbsuperduty

Thanks,

Before my wife bought her Tribute, we used to drive the truck everywhere. My mpg figures were 12-12.5 mpg (50-50 city/hwy) Now that we use the Trubute for most of the running around my mpg figures have gone up to 13.5 with 20-80 (city/hwy) BTW, the Tribute gets 18 mpg.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 14-May-02 AT 12:45 PM (EST)]HiTech:
You might want to consider a Gibson stainless 3" cat-back exhaust and an intake system (K&N, Volant, AirForce1 etc.) as a wake-up.

Should cost under $700.

Nice but does it fit an E-450 31' chassis? If yes I am interested.
