I'm guessing the jacking up does hit fuel economy and it must be a bit of a handful to drive!
Did your company pay for the F150 (and the fuel)? Is it the 'economical' V6 or the V8?
I did 1000km this week, no stress and virtually all driving on the paddles. Have never been a fan of automatic gear boxes but this one is better than any manual I've driven as you can put it into a PROPER manual mode. It's got 8 gears which helps and I just find it better to keep the enginer gently turning over 99% of the time at low revs. When you want to go for an overtake just hit the left paddle a few times and it's pretty effortless. I did burn off some pushy kid out of a roundabout this afternoon as he was getting a bit too close behind and needed to be shown who was boss!
