new style F150?

My '03 D150 with the 4.2L V-6 gets about 14 MPG in the city and 20-22
MPG freeway depending on how fast I drive.

My F-150 SWB with 5.4 liter gets at best 17 mpg. This truck has a
cat-back dual exhaust and a K&N cold air intake. Before the intake and
exhaust installation best mileage was 15......
But it is the best engine Ford makes, I have 136,000 trouble free miles.
Nothing major, just normal maintenance. I would never buy the smaller
V-8 nor the V-6.....
