I average between 9-10mpg, with 70% city driving with 285s out of my V10 Supercab w/ 4.30's... the most I've seen is 12mpg driving 95% highway on a long trip... lol, my ranger would do 12 city/14 highway... my super doodie pretty much does 9 city/11 highway, for the most part...

Please don't try and tell us that you get 24% better mileage with your V8.

If one drives 5 miles and the other 7 miles to work everyday, then it seems that conditions for comparison are nearly equal. A 24% difference is more than I'd expect but it's very possible between two different trucks. If that's the difference he says that he's seeing between his friend's truck and his own, then I believe him. It could be that his friend is just heavier on the gas.

I still think a 24% difference is not indicative of the real average difference.
