2008 F150 Fuel Mileage Question

I am looking at a new F150 Supercrew Lariat 4x4, 5.4L engine, 3.73 rear end, 4 speed auto, the window sticker says 13/17 mpg, what are you owners actually seeing?
Thanks for your inputs.

I'm averaging low to mid 14s local driving. Recently took a trip with mostly open highway driving and averaged 17.5.

My '08 has 500 miles on it; filled up yesterday and am getting 15.7 mpg overall. I am more than pleased as I anticipate it will only improve in the future. 5.4 V-8, auto, 3.73 rear.

My window sticker said 17 and 24 on an 08 Scab XLT with the 3.73 and the 4-speed auto.
I'm getting on average 17.8 mpg (I do 80%highway driving everyday) and on a long road trip through the mountains with a few pit stops and an overnighter driving through the city I got 19.26mpg.

I've leveled off at about 17.5mpg, so it isn't too bad.
