I think the recent heat in that area has had a effect on his brain!! I get 14 around town and 16.5 to 18.5 on the highway.

Here's what I got for 08-Oct-05 to 08-Jun-07.
Gallons Miles MPG
2,298 38,593 16.79327195

I'm kinda crazy and managed to keep a spreadsheet with all my receipts and mileage on them.

Average price per galon for that date range was $2.520 !

My 04 5.4 gets around 14.8 in town and 17.1 on road. A guy who works with me has a 04 4.6 and gets around 20 on road. Both are 2 wheel drive.

I get 13 MPG around town and up to 18 Hwy. I keep records like blindguy and hate to look back to what gas cost in 1997 when I first bought the truck...

Sort of.

He only checks his fuel mileage by resetting the computer during a 2 mile run down one of the OREGON hills.

my '00 2wd gets slightly (~ +1 city, +2 highway) better mileage than my '97 4x4. but they did run different gears as well. the '97 was 3.73 and i think the '00 is 3.3...something like that, can't recall exactly.
