fuel mileage
Just some information on fuel mileage for 2011 F350 6.7. Truck is now 7 weeks old and has seen an improvement from 21.4 miles per gal. to 25.1 miles per gal.these numbers are metric converted to imp. gal. I think some of the improvement is regular fuel. rather than winter fuel, but happy just the same a lot better than 08 6.4

F250, 4X4, 8 ft bed,super cap,3.55rear& 20" tires - about 1,600 miles and two weeks. Mostly rural and back road driving in southern nj plus two trips (4 - 5 hr each way) to upsate pa. (one with about 2,000 lb of trailer) Avg mpg on odometer screen since day 1 is 16.6. I've seen about 19.5 - 20 once in a while (NJ). Sometimes it seems sensitive to either fuel brand or tank level (huh)?
Not really seeing the steady high mpg (in 20's) alot of people are talking about, although seeing about 3 mpg better than the dodge gas (small v8) it replaced.
Any tricks/tuning to get there or is it just a matter of break in? Also, what kind of turbo boost pressure are most seeing. I'm only seeing about 1 - 10 on most trips.
Thanks

From what I can tell you will loose a significant amount of efficiency with a lift, so your numbers sound pretty good to me!

The lift isn't what cost you mileage it's the bigger tires = more resistance.

The one thing that improved my mileage the most is finding out my speedo reads slow. So at 70 mph I was actually doing 76 mph. Checked it with an accurate handheld gps. The truck defiantly gets better mileage when you drive slower. I am assuming my odometer will be reading less miles also,which means I'm putting on more mpg than what it is showing. Also I should get more miles on warranty.
