When my F250 was new (2001), I was only getting around 11-11.5 mpg but it's got the 5.4L engine and 4.10 axle ratio. About the same time the E10 showed up, I had installed a K&N intake kit, shortie headers and a Flowmaster cat-back exhaust. My mileage has improved slightly to 13-13.5 mpg. Oh, and I replaced the spark plugs last year. Read into that what you want.

I don't know about this year but last year West Alton Marina was also selling ValvTech-treated fuel.
