Buddy LC has a 2000 supercab shortbed 4x4 f150 with the 5.4, I think 3.55 gears and an automatic as well. Taller tires on stock 16 inch rims, and it pulls a consistant 19 plus. Granted LC don't drive real fast, I think 60 would be pushing it for him, but still. That baffles the hell out of me. Says it does better then the 4x4 supercab dakota he replaced it with, think it had the 5.2 automatic in it.
The older Crown Vics/Town Cars seemed to get pretty decent mpg for what they were, if not exactly powerhouses. The 4.6 ones anyway. Hell, even the old 5.0 Mustangs with a 5 speed and 3.08 gears would surprise you.
