HA!!! Got 22 mpg with the F150- BEST EVER in 15 years! (Previous best was 21.75, way back when the truck was new.) Yah- kinda a short fill but not a ridiculous one (5 gallons). Not a fluke though- next 250 miles look to be on track for 20 or so (haven't filled yet). I credit the wind which was at times an xwind and at times a tailwind; no cooling fan, ribby tires aired up high, E50, good temps in the 50s and 60s, and of course good driver technique.
