8mpg? My 2008 5.4L F150 XLT Supercrew 4x4 got 13mpg in the city. Something is not kosher.

Well we have yet to get actual numbers here but 125 miles per tank - ranger tank is 16-17 gallon. That's 8mpg. And that CANNOT happen on a functional motor. At that mpg your motor will have serious issues that are obvious with a glowing CEL.
Another thought, the tank is severely dented lowering capacity but you should see your tank not filling to the right gallons (again bad math). If you go to fill up on E and can only put 8 gallons in there's an issue and you should realize, "hey wtf".

Lots of possible explanations but none of our guesses matter until we have -real- numbers to work with.
