6.2L mpg update?
#61
I really can't say as I don't drive my truck much empty on the road in fact I have had my truck almost 2 years and have just over 13000 miles on it. There was one time I got 17 MPG on the road but I was driving slower but there were still hills in it and some stop and go but I was really taking it easy on the go pedal

Here is my first test of brand new 2012 6.2L F250 CC LB. This was round trip Cheyenne to south Denver and back. 65mph except in the city. I hand calculated as well and it's slightly off. I put 15.03 gallons in it which is 16.6 mpg. I filled at the same pump facing the same direction before leaving and on return.

Liftime average on the 6.2 is 14 over 20,000miles.
Lifetime average for the 5.4 is 15 over 26000miled
Epty the 5.4 is 1000lbs lighter plus the manual trans probably is most of the difference.
With the trailer the 6.2 gets alot better mpg and does a bit better on the hills. I do much prefer towing with a manual; and usually tow with the 5.4 unless i need the crew cab

Start using 87 and you will see about 2 mpg increase. It may take 1 or 2 tanks to get all the E85 out. IMO the cost savings per gallon don't match up to the mpg decrease of the E85, so I just stick with the 87 and only use Shell or Mobil.

Sounds good to me. I will try that. Thanks for the input.

Just picked up my new to me 2011 F-250 CC Lariat FX4 w/45k miles. Drove 367 miles in my 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 w/DOD to pick it up and averaged 16.9mpg in the GMC on the way there. Picked up the F-250 and rolled out with a full tank of gas from Branson, MO to Omaha, NE and averaged 15.3 on the computer with 87. Did not do the math on return.
Mixed driving all week so far with 13.3mpg on 89 E10
