The truck listed below scales at 7,700lbs with just me. I drive a lot of highway, and still average about 10.5mpg every tank. So my guess is I'm getting 8-9mpg city.

2008 F250 Lariat, V10, 4.10 gears, CC....

In city ~9-10 but factoring in some freeway driving across town twice a day. Towing ~7,800 TT on highway running about 8.5mpg. Best I've got is 13.6 highway (not towing of course).

Aside from a K&N I haven't done anything after market yet. Looking at a FlowMaster to allow more airflow, thus little more power and hopefully improved economy. A friend of mine put a FlowMaster on his and got an additional 2.5 to 3mpg improvement on the highway.
