Is that all city driving? How many miles do you have on your truck? The MPG should go up after about 700 miles. Have you done any mods, and if so, did you disconnect your battery for a least 5 minutes to re-set your system? If not, try that and then drive easy for the next 200 miles and see what happens.

13.7 is awfully low. If I baby it I'm getting 18.5 to 19.7 MPG with about 20% city, 80% freeway driving, and I'm always bucking strong headwinds on the freeway.
