It really is easy Shawn, but remember, you're not driving an economy car. That big V8 is having to drink a lot of gas just to fill the cylinders properly. And, you need that big V8 to move all that iron - these are not "light weight" trucks.

You're actually getting pretty good gas mileage already. I get about 15.5 at 70-75 with my 4x4 Screw, and it's carrying a 200#+ bed cap. I can get 16.5 mpg at around 65 mph.

There's no way though, that you're going to get more than about a 2mpg increase. The laws of physics are against you here.

I think you CAN spin the tires, but I've never tried - I'm an old man! I know if I pass someone on a 2-lane highway at WOT I get a belt squeak in an upshift. That's pretty good in my book.

Some of the people getting "great" mileage are driving fairly light versions of this truck with much lower gear ratios. And, I'm not sure they all even know how to calculate gas mileage properly. The ONLY way to do it is to have an accurate odometer and divide miles driven by gallons inserted at fillup. If the odometer is wrong, due to incorrect tire size, the mpg figure will be a lie. If the mpg is taken from the estimate on the Gryphon, there are a number of factors that can make it inaccurate. Things like consistent headwinds, tailwinds, and temperature can make a huge difference. Even brands of gas seem to have an effect.

Hope I'm not being TOO disappointing!

That is exactly what I did.
I did so much research on programmers now I can't wait to get it!

In my '04 SCAB 6.5' bed with a 4.6 doing the calculation myself as said above I get 17-18 now driving medium (I am not too hard but not slow either). I get 1000 kms per tank. I do have the big tank.

Our F-150's are full size trucks. My daily driver gets 4-6 mpg. It's a tri-axle dump truck with a pup hauling 37 tons.
