Wow thats good. I went up north over the weekend and I got 16 mpg. I probably could have done better but I had the cruise set at about 75-78 mph. I got an 04 with the 5.4 and 373 gears I think it is. Whatever came with the fx4 package.

I've seen 20 before on highway trips with my '07 F150(5.4L, 4x4, 3.73s). Speed is the enemy here if you're looking for MPGs.
I always used to put the cruise at 67 MPH and take it easy. Nothing against driving faster but you will burn more fuel the faster you go.
My current truck rarely goes above 65. I'm very lucky if I hit 16...

just made a trip from the chicago area out to western colorado and back. average mileage was around 16 mpg with the cruise usually set around 75 mph. pushed up to 80+ a few times and saw mileage drop to around 14. Not great but, all things considered, I'm okay with those numbers for a truck this big going that fast.

I put just over 500 miles on my truck last weekend. Almost all highway & got 18.3 mph. Drove the whole way staying just under 75mph. My truck ran great & drives real comfortable. I have a 2004 SuperCab 4x4 5.4L with 3.55 gears
