1,720 Miles Round Trip ...16.09 MPG

I guess my main point isn't so much what I'm getting 'cause...I love the truck anyway.
It's more the variance regarding other mileage reports/comparison. My cousin has an '03 CC longbed dually (no problems BTW) and is getting 15/16 in town.
Funny...if the general concensous was 12 city 16 hywy we would lose a quarter of our threads.

bighoss, I hear ya, I do it all time.

TnMac you are constantly saying that is not good well run the test back to back.. same hills, same wind, same driving style, same fuel, same top off procedures, same oil, same oil level, same idle time, same load, same ambient air temp, same air density altitude, same food stops same pee breaks, same acceleration curve form stop, same sustained top speed, same lateral g forces in a corner, same lateral wind loading,…….same… same… same… same…..there are only 1267 other factors/variables that can and WILL affect MPG
And by the way I do not care what Ford or anyone says or writes about MPG until you can perform a scientific test and control all the parameters and the methodology of the testing.....I can legitimately say the MPG is OK/appropriate ... more than anyone can say it is not good.
This is not an attack on anyone or their beliefs it is about REAL world testing and NOT what a bunch of corporate folks say to sell trucks.
