    thanks Bob, I drove it to knoxville today, when I first bought it, the little computer window said it was getting 13.5 mpg and I set the cruise control on 75 and the computer kept creeping up a digit at a time. and when I got back home it read 14.4 don't look like it will get as good of mileage as most of these guys that posted their results on here, but I can live with 14mpg.

    Slow it down to 65 or 70 and I'll bet you'll see a big difference in mpg. You can stay in the slow lane with all of us gray haired drivers.

    Hey man, check that air filter, cause 5.4'ws are sensitive to mix. Each time I swap in a new, about once a year, the mileage creeps up some. And, run the tire at the highes recommended pressure for the tire, not what the sticker says on the door column. My van says 41 psi front and back, and my Michelins allow up to 50 PSI max, cold pressure, so I run them all at 45-47, vs the sticker 41. Handles better, and mileage again creeps up some.

    Try reseting that mpg guage. Then take it on a good long drive, remember it's average what's in its data bank.
