THANKS!

I don't think what you are getting is out of line.
Exhaust leaks generally don't hurt mileage unless the leak is before the o2 sensor.

My 93 F350 351W crewcab gets 13-14 on the highway. 5-6 local though, it averages out I guess.
I also shift earlier than most...

I was shocked to get just under 16mpg in my '97 Supercab with the 5.8L on a recent 120 mile highway trip. Oddly, the truck used about twice as much gas headed in the other direction (no, not uphill in only one direction).

i just bought my truck two months ago. in below freezing temperatures and about 80% highway(75mph) i got 17mpg every fillup. i'm hopeing to get 19 in the summer. not bad for 100k miles.

I'm getting between 7 and 10 with mine. Its also a 4X4 crew 350 with a 460. The quality of gas in your area will play a major role in mileage. With the winter gas in my area I was getting 5 , with good summer mix I have got as high as 14
