All depends on how you drive and where you live. As for asking people from all over the country, useless. However, there might be someone in your area to compare to. But, it still all hinges on driving habits! My 01 4.6 gets 12-13 hwy and city combined, 19-20 highway only. All stock.

My 97 4.6 with 208K gets around 15 mixed city and hwy. Hwy is right around 18-21. Just pure city I don't even want to think about it.

I just sold my '97 SCab 5.4L 2wd. It had JBA headers, Gibson Supertruck exhaust, K&N FIPK II, Superchips performance chip and 265/75/16 Goodyear Wranger APT's (with my 3.55LS chunk). I got mixed city/highway 12mpg. If I was on the freeway, downhill and with a tailwind I could see as high as 16mpg. Not very economical for Southern California commuting.
