Youch!
Ok! It was the air filter. I pulled it out and it weighed about 4 pounds! dropped it on the ground and a pile of dusty dirt...bought a new one and mileage back to 16 mpg. I changed it just before the Maine raptor run...Dirty Dozen III in Sept. I guess it reached critical restriction and the mileage plummeted.
I didn't mean to **** anyone off. I had considered dozens of possibilities, from the new tires to bearings failing in the front hubs/rear spindles. Just a coincidence that I had just changed the brake pads, recent alignment, new tires, balancing beads, dirty mass air sensor / failure, injector obstruction, etc. I was wondering what else I might have missed/failed to think of. I had looked at the air filter but had not taken it out. As soon as I started to remove the filter I knew how stupid I was. I swear it weighed 4 pounds! I got a pile of dusty dirt 4 inches high by tapping on the filter for a few seconds....
Sorry I angered anyone!

FordraptorHero,
Gentle pressure on the fun pedal! When I go to the beach, driving on the sand I get between 3 and 7 mpg's. Around town it's more like 14-15 mpg's unless I am very conservative! Premium is $3.45/gallon in my home town so I am pretty conservative most of the time. I get 18+ mpg's on the highway at 55 to 60 mph....
