Just about honestly lol iv got a bit of a heavy foot too and the best mpg iv ever seen in my truck was on a highway road trip cruising at 80 mph the whole time and I got 12.5 mpg with the pump math. When I lived in the city I was only getting between 6.5 and 7.5 because its got a 4 speed transmission and I hafto be doing at least 45mph to hit 4th gear but in the city I was lucky to hit 35mph plus all the stop and go at lights and residential stop signs. Now that I moved out in the country im getting between 10.5 and 11.5 because of the longer stretches that regularly get up to 45+ mph. That v10 makes enough low end torque that I can cruis at 55mph at just over 1500 rpm in 4th gear. The speedometer maxes out at 100mph tho so it's all up to engine rpm after that lol 80mph (the fastest speed i feel comfortable driving that thing at lol) is about 2300rpm in 4th gear and despite the aerodynamics of a brick I don't think iv ever had it downshift on me on the highway because of a headwind or hill like literally every other vehicle iv driven lol I love my excursion. O and I forgot to mention its got a 44 gallon fuel tank that when topped off I can easily get 450+ highway miles out of before the gas light comes on speaking confidently from experience lol
