Mine is back up to 16 per gal. she scared me earlier this week and fell to 13. I will attribute that to getting some bad fuel.

My 5.2 is picky on it's fuel. And it just isn't a random one off occurrence either. EVERY time I fill up at Sunoco my truck runs like shit and gets less mileage. But when I fill up at Cumberland Farms, she runs GREAT and gets 17-18 MPG.

The only thing I can think of is the amount of ethanol and the 5.2 is more sensative to it. I mean, being in the oil business, I know the quality of gasoline differs from refinery to refinery, but it shouldnt make the engine run THAT mush different.
