After 35350 miles.....
.......my average miles per gallon is 19. For the WHOLE distance. What is not to like about that?

That's good...but just for fun you should go another 3.5 miles and report in at 35353.5 miles
My 2013 5.0 FX4 3.55 is averaging 17.6 but I live at 7220 ft so the engine makes about 25% less power than at sea level.

Mine is right around 30,000 and overall average is 17.3 - but I have a heavy right foot......
Last week I drove nicely to NY and back 250 miles and got 19.9. Summer fuel, no wind, held 68 to 70.

Mine is under 16 with the Ecoboost. About 50/50 city/hwy mixed driving. 3.73 gears and dumbo mirrors aren't helping, I only get 18.5 on the highway running 70 mph.
Really wishing I had gone with the 5.0L...

The rear end seems to have a LOT to do with gas mileage... especially where the EB is concerned. Everyone with the 3.55s and 3.73s seem to get substantially less mileage than those with the 3.31s.

My other reason for wishing I had gone with the 5.0L is faster warm-up, no intake coking issues / PCV issues, and no intercooler up front preventing the install of a hidden winch mount.

Speed is another big killer of fuel economy in a pickup. If I could run a constant 60-65, this thing would get 23 or better. As it is with the cruise on 72-73 with the A/C on (and carrying 800lbs) 21 is no problem.
