How many billions did Exxon spend to make that 7.5 billion. Their profit margin is around 8%. Plus how many people are employed by Exxon? I feel they are doing a good job as long as we have fuel available.

I saw much the same MPG with my 82 F100.
That was why I backed off and punted...

My DD (Daily Driver) is now a 1990 Ranger 4cyl with a five speed.
I lucked into it for 1.8K, and though it has a few quirks it sure is a long legged truck anyway you slice it...

I'm in the same boat as you. Mine is a 03 F-150 4x4 with a 5.4 engine. Mine from day 1 has gotten 10.5-11 MPG in the City and 15 MPG on the Highway. Nothing more, nothing less. I now have 58,000 miles on her and still get 10.5 MPG @ $2.62, boy that adds up.
