So my recent purchase the 93 f150 302 5sp with a 302 2wd is avg about 18.5 mpg its has 31 10.50 15 on it. I was expecting 10-12. What is real world fuel economy for you on similar trucks?
I have the 300 six and 31's with a 5 speed 4x4 and i can get 20 all day at 45mph but town and high speed are around 13-15. I can imagine you wont get as good but fairly close. I have to drive leisurely to get high numbers.
The good thing about the six is its mileage stays pretty close loaded or unloaded. You should try to find one with a 351. Then you would have more power and still questionable fuel mileage. Oh and i have 3.55 gears

Could be with unusually high MPG like that. Check the door sticker for the axle code and Google it. Ford also puts a tag on one of the diff cover bolts that has the gear ratio stamped in it, but those often get discarded.

My '92 F350 with 351w is getting 13mpg down hill with a tail wind, although that is with 3.55 ratio and only 3 gears with a C6, thus is sits, unless called upon for duty.
