My wifes 97' with a 5.4 and just over 100,000 miles still gets 15-16 city and as much as 22 hwy, chalk that up to regular, preventitive maintenance.

I asked because your tires can directly impact on your gas mileage - especially for hwy driving. So, if you're trying to squeeze every mpg out of your truck, just wanted make sure you checked your tires out as well.
But you've already got that side of things covered!
BTW, I've heard a lot of good things about the Revos.

I have a 00 EB 5.4 and I get about 13-17 with mixed driving. I do mostly HWY driving and I have made an effort to accelerate slower. But I just cant drive on the HWY any slower than 70 mph. And when I am behind schedule I have gone as fast as 90 for the 25 mile trip to work and my MPG is never less than 12.

I will second the Aggressive tires will hurt your MPG. I used to have the factory tires and I upgraded to a MICH 3 ply sidewall A/T tire and my MPG dropped by 2-3. I had to change my driving habits to accommodate for the heavier tires.

My mods are in my Sig and was getting high teens HWY in the gas mileage stock but once I got the Intake and Exhaust done Im up to anywhere from 22-26 mpg HWY depending on the exact speed im cruising at (55 being the best speed I have noticed for MPG) 1 thing is though atm I am living at a higher altitude of 4400FT above sea level and Im moving in a week to northern california with the military so Im hoping the lower altitude will help my MPG even more so than what I have done to it soo far.
