I had two 98's, both with the 4.6L. The standard cab got 21 mpg regularly on the highway, 16 in the fields.
the 3 door got 18-20 on the highway and 15-16 in the field. The is darn good for a full size truck.
I rented an 04 with the 5.4 and got 16mpg with a combination of highway and field/4X4. That is really good!

I used Royal Purple 5W-30 synthetic and a K$N filter, plus a bed cover. My tire pressures are always kept on the higher side of the pressure range. I do not let my vehicles idle much at all. My mileage was mostly 16 mpg, as I spent more time in the field than on the highway. My definition of field is a combination of corn field time with the highway time in between. My fields are spread out by 4-5 miles at a shot.
Now, I currently drive (for work, not by choice) an 05 Chevy 2500 with an 8.1L. I can't get better than 13 with that, and I have tried everything. I generally get around 11, but this isn't bad considering the HP and weight.
