My 2007 has the yellow gas cap and the flex fuel badge on the tail gate. If it is flex fuel will have the badge...

Look at the 8th position of your VIN, if it is a P, then your engine is Flexfuel.

On the highway my overhead says 19-22 depending on how fast you go. Real world I'm calculating 17-18 in mixed driving.

What kind of real average gas milage are you all seeing?
IIRC, 4 states didnt offer flex fuel Models... California and New York were two, I dont remember the other two. I know this only because I bought mine in NY

Dakotaff is correct about the VIN too

For the 4.7L equipped trucks
P - Flex Fuel
J - HO
N - Non Flex Fuel
