Probably the same thing that happened when the coil wire broke off at
full throttle on my Ford. It died and like a big dummy I kept my foot
down until I got it over to the side of the road. When I got everything
fixed I cranked her up and....KABOOOOOM! All that raw gas got in the
muffler and a spark on cranking...new muffler time.
Hardly life threatening.

I can so testify, I get about 14mpg unladen in mixed driving in my 02
Superduty Crewcab v10.

What were you doing, 55 the whole way? Towing my trailer/TJ combo (total
almost 6000#) at 65mph nets about 10mpg.
Best I've ever done with it was 18.5 (unloaded of
> course ) highway through Indiana/Illinois.
I could probably do that if I laid off the gas and people flew by me like I
was pacing the Indy 500.
