Although I haven't been posting it I am getting about 15 mpg with my Econoline, It is a barn door, loaded, pulling a 3000 pound trailer. It has the 5.4 v8, Auto transmission. I don't drive in town much but the ultraguage is usually 12 mpg or less.
The maximum mpg speed is about 54 mph. I generally cruise at 55-60.
I spend a mile or more getting up to 55 mph. Faster acceleration kills mpg.
