[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-Nov-02 AT 06:50 PM (EST)]I get 8-12 mpg, depending on how hard I run her
By the way if you had an aod it would be 4-speed. You probabely have a c-6 like me.

well that sounds about right.... but not to be crass the old adage holds here if you are worried about gas mileage dont buy a truck.... a buddy was told that when looking at trucks at a dealer lol.

Wow...I feel special. I have a 95 F150 XLT 4x4 with a 302 V8 and a 5 speed manual and today I got 20 MPG. The motor only has 79000 miles on it! Last week I got 12....I had all fluids and filters changed and I think that is what made all the diff! Tomorrow I am replacing both of the radius arm bushings. That should make it drive better! My driver's side one is totally out of the hole...talk about a HORRIBLE noise! I've owned this truck nearly two weeks and I love it!

I have a 92 XLT Flareside with 3:55 TracLoc; 302 and E4OD. After new plugs, cap, rotor, air filter, fluid change to synthetics, I went from 12.8 to 18.6 MPG.

Fuel filters are next!

In my 92 F350 CrewCab 4x4 w/351 EFI, C6 3spd auto, 3.55 gears, and 33" tires, I seem to be getting about 10mpg in mixed city/in-town-highway driving, trying to be light on the pedal. There are alot of hills here too. I have yet to check it out on the open road, interesting to see what I get with those high gears and big tires. I am kinda disappointed in the mileage, since this is a small engine. Wonder what the mileage would have been if I had gotten the same truck with a 460 instead? It is an improvement over my Chevy 454 dually (6mpg), so I guess I shouldnt complain too much, but man that Chevy had sooo much more power than this Ford, I miss being able to stomp on it and really GO somewhere! (nothing against Fords, we own 4 of them right now) -Glen.
