8mpg is getting old
like many of yous who own a 5.4 super duty and live where it gets cold during the winter knows that you usually loose a few MPG during the winter. Well its been in the mid 50's here in NJ for two weeks and I'm still only getting about 7.5 to 8 MPG! Now Ive read other post this winter so i know this is somewhat normal but come on! enough is enough even after two weeks of 50plus degree weather I'm still only getting 7-8 MPG? Even my brothers bone stock 05 F150 with the 5.4 is still getting 13mpg around town......

I hear ya man 
I'm starting to get back up to 10... I hit 11 a few times back in the summer, but not often. I've been checking out 06-07 CC LB diesels.... I might be making the switch sooner than later.

My dad's 2011 is giving him about 16-17, and he's got a pretty heavy right foot.

Don't believe all the hype. The 06/07 with the redesign are perfectly capable trucks.

Back to the mileage thing... I guess the one thing I like about my 5.4's gas mileage is that it's consistent lol It pretty much stays around 10.
