My first truck was a used '71 F250 with a 360 3 speed. Got about 10MPG....but I was a teenager. It was one of the most reliable vehicles I've ever had but it was pretty much rust from the glass down when I retired it. Pulled the engine and put it in another truck.

Current truck is a '00 F250 5.4 auto OD. Gets 10 MPG on a good day. The 5.4 is a gutless gas hog. Has around 140 K on it. Had to replace all the coils once and a few twice. I do have BIG side tool boxes which hurt the mileage but 10 MPG is pathetic. The roof is rusting out above the windshield.
