First mpg check with '06
I put over 450 miles on my 06 STX 4x4 over the weekend on a trip to CT and back plus driving while down there. I got 20.7 mpg and am more than happy with that!
I know that this included a lot of interstate driving, but I'll take it.

It's unfortunate that so many have purchased the gas guzzling 5.4s for an extra $900 and 6-7 less MPGs. The 50 or so extra HP isn't really worth it when you weigh everything out.
Oh well, live and learn I guess.

BTW - my 5.4L and LS diff were free with the tow & go discount.

My edge tuner is currently reading 16.2mpg. Those are all 'around town' miles. Sean, we've been over this. It is too bad you do not believe what your fellow users write. They have nothing to gain by lying. Please drop the constant insinuation of such.
