Me... probably the F-150 because it's used for work and gets better mileage than the F-250 on cheaper fuel. We drive the Accord when possible. The F-150 is undergoing tests and modifications to get the most out of it's 5.4L. With said mods, I've scratched at 20 mpg a few times, which is pretty good for a fullsize 8,200# GVW truck with a 300hp engine and 4.10 gears. I can eke an honest and consistent 17.5 mpg on level ground at 65 mph and scratch at a consistent 18.5+ at 55. I need it's capabilities, as evidenced by recently hauling nearly 11 tons of grain in after harvest. It got 7.7 mpg in the process, incidentally, which is pretty good considering the amount of work being done.
