2012 f 350ccsb lariat, 1500 miles, one month old, nicest truck I have ever driven. I get 18mpg no highway driving. I traded my 2000 f250 extcab 7.3 6spd 150,000mi completely trouble free. Knock on wood that the new one is at least half as reliable.
I joined this forum to post on this thread. It is nice to read a forum that is
not completely complaining.

Not Bad
I only have a mere 1300 miles. But the it does better then I expected.
The power is more then great.
Not sure how the truck is getting the MPG being reported but, it not far off. I seeing over all around 18 mpg. That is better then my old 2001 ford tarus. I hope the MPG's hold.
So overall I am please with the 2012.
The power is more then great.

Just a note as to breaking in and increasing mileage. When I got the truck a couple of months ago I had to purposefully do some driving to get enough miles on it for our tow to vacation. Got 12.8 MPG from Southern Illinois to Lake Michigan. On the return trip, got 13.4.
Drove it around a bit and took another vacation last week (trying to burn "use or lose" leave) so took the little hoodlums to Dollywood in Pigeon Forge. I expected horrendous mileage going through the mountains but got about 13.9 MPG on the way there and 14.3 on the way back.
Caveats: I maxed the tire pressure and kept my foot out of it. Towing a 25 foot Airstream that isn't all that heavy (IIRC - 6-7K). and...I took my measurements off the lie-o-meter. I filled the truck up prior to leaving, reset the trip meter and the went off to dinner, hooked up the trailer and hit the road. Average was after about a tank and a half.
My unloaded highway driving appears to be around 22 MPG. Note that it is flat here in southern Illinois and I keep my foot out of the engine.
My point is at have about 3400 miles on it and half is towing. The mileage seems to be increasing with each trip.
May NOT be enough miles undeer varying conditions to stand by these numbers, I am just telling you what I got.
2012 F-250, 4X4, CC/LB w/3.31 gears.
I asked a question here a couple months ago WRT the high gearing and ya'll said not to worry about it. This thing just pulls like its stupid. The gearing gives me pretty good mileage and I have noticed no detriment to towing.
