08 has arrived

Just picked up my 08 350 Lariat CC 4x4 6.4 very nice job by Ford. So far around town and a little hiway 12-13 mpg with 4.10 gears and 400mi on odometer.
I should of found 3.73 gears but i hate pulling into the wind and getting blown back. Anyone done any aftermarket upgrades that improve mpg yet?
I see Chevy getting better mpg in there 1 tons, but read the sticker and it's 3.73 gears in all there test.
ANy one else got any numbers?

with only 400m miles that's not even a tank of fuel. did you run it all 400 miles and hand calculate the mileage?

oops sorry, it had 380 when I got it delivered, that's just the last 20 miles according to the read out.....why is 12-13 to high? hope not.

500+ miles on mine, V10 with 4:10, and already averaging that......both of us should see some improvment as they break in.

yes, unfortunantly it may be a little high, but certainly not low from what is being posted about them. fill her up and drive a full tank. then hand calculate. there is a reason those digital read-outs are refered to as "lie-o-meters"
