Mine were, and I noticed it went down, the PHP ficm brought it back to where it was originally.

That may not always be the case. IMHO 11 mpg is pretty poor for your truck, I doesn't look like you have much of a lift or larger tires in your picture. So i at a loss as to why it so poor.
Yeah my truck only has a level kit on it, and tires are just 33s. I use to see 17mpg back in the day, but that was before 3 trips to Ford so Im sure i lost some somewhere. Im waiting for a custom program to come back from you guys to download with my SCT, if im understanding right that is the PCM tune right? Hopefully that will bring it up.
