I've never gotten better > than 17MPG out of a tank of fuel. > > Bob Wickline > wick airmail.net I've gotten just barely over 20mpg on my 99 SD PSD, SC 4x4 auto short bed. 3.73 SRW. Once. Was going from Las Vegas through Death Valley to Panamint spring and refueled in Ridgemont Ca. The penalty was that I was mostly doing 55 MPH or less. Unloaded Round trips from San Jose ca to LA are 19 mpg 67 mph, and to South Lake Tahoe at the same speed is 17 mpg. Last summer doing a loop from San Jose, ca through southern Utah, I was getting tanks from 14MPG to 9.8 carrying a 3000 lbs Lance 820. The avg for that trip as about 11.8 Unloaded I have the tires at 65 lbs, and full GVW at 82 lbs. 265/75/16. Speed/boost has a large affect on the milage of a Diesel. More speed, lends to more boost == more fuel consumption. Have about 28,000 miles now. ------------------------------ From: "Erik Marquez" Subject: Re: fuel mileage 99 & 00 F250 F350 Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 14:48:13 -0900 -----Original Message----- From: Charles Abraham >Erik, in Alaska, when if ever do you see "un-winterized" diesel fuel? > I have never seen the lower quality fuel (un-winterized) up here. It could be it's just not worth the change over.. Up till a few months ago I lived in Fairbanks AK, Non winter months are far and few.. Now that I live in Anchorage, it may stay warm enough to allow the storage and sale of that grade of fuel...
