By the look of his profile pick, in his bloody massive bull bar!

I have moved back to the states, and purchased my old F350 back of the guy I sold it to. My economy has dropped since I last had it, admittedly my driving habits have changed (its now my daily driver in Los Angeles traffic, instead of just highway), but I think I need to change my up-pipes as well because they are leaking a bit.

I am getting around 16.5l/100km

That is one very big tank, obviously for refueling your machine. I would hate to pay for the fuel bill.

Is only gravity feed in to the main tank



It comes in to it's own each time we head out back where the fuel price jumps 20 cents per ltr from the coast. We fill it up fifty a week and then when it's full we find a place to go, hence the name "Loose Cannon"

Hey guys. I'm new here. I just picked up a 2012 F250 4X4 Supercab PowerStroke and travelled from Brisbane to Sydney. I was amazed to see 12-12.5 litres per 100km!! I'm happy with that, my BMW X5 4.8 Petrol does more than that.

Cheers, Mal.

Hi Mal, welcome!
12.5 L/100k, that's pretty impressive for the 2-12 6.7!

Welcome Mal
Honestly, if I could afford to buy a 2012 F250 to drive around, I would not really worry about the fuel economy. You are one lucky guy!!
Care to supply some pics to show off the beast?

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Yeah, I was floored seeing how little fuel it used. If it was 14, even 16 on the trip down, I wouldn't of complained.

Here is a pic (from the dealers ad). I haven't taken one myself yet. It needs a wash after the trip down.



Cheers, Mal.
