Sounds like either a BAD gas leak, or the infamour crossflow issue....

Pull the codes....It's simple, and all you need is a paper clip....

Also how big is your tank? I believe alot of single tank F150's came with 19 gal tanks. Not the 33 gal tanks, like the Bronco.
Just asking to make sure its not a simple math mistake. Lol

120 miles should use only roughly 9 gallons. I've been doing extensive mileage checking with my truck for a year or so now and that's what I've been getting. Defiantly see if you've got a code or something. I don't know what this paper clip trick is but I just spend the 25 bucks at Oreily's for the Ford Code Reader, it's made by Equus.

what gear ratio are the axles? did you change the speedometer so the speed/mileage is right for your tires? my 95 has the ford dumb idea 3.08 gears,I am running 31 inch tires,and I get 11-12 mpg if I drive sensible,8 if I drive it like I stole it.

I just swapped from 31's to 33's/ You need to make sure this has been done. According to my truck, right after I got the tires I went from 13-14 MPG down to 6. Here's the link. to tha article.
