What rear gear ratio do you have? I've heard that there was a 3.31 ratio option. That could get your MPG up on the interstates.

2wd or 4wd? reg cab? lg bed?

my truck is the one in my sig below. Supercab single wheel long bed auto with 3:73 rear. stock size tires. The thing is I had an '02 that was an identical truck with the exception of the motor, which was the 7.3. It averaged maybe 1 mpg better than this 6.0. I did get 18 on the interstate with that 7.3 ONE time right when I first got it. It was also 100% stock. I think what kills my mileage is that I very rarely run a full tank of fuel without towing a trailer. And even if I did, the vast majority of my driving is short distances.

Honestly I think that I get better mpg when I drive like a pissed of teenager. I estimate my average mileage is 14.8-15.5 mpg when I baby it and when I get on her is when I see the 15.5-16.5. This is all mixed city/hwy driving too.
