BTW, I'm driving a 2005 4.4i.
that's the same region I got my best mileage - did a short leg from Laramie, WY to Limon, CO (22.6mpg) and then went from there to Kansas City, MO for my best tankful ever 22.7mpg

as far as those complaining about the mountains, I typically get 18-20mpg over the Rockies, depending upon which route I take from Idaho Falls, ID to Rock Springs, WY
