I have a 1995 Ford F-250 I get around 10 miles to the Gal. in city on the hwy I get about 13 to 15 mpg if I use the cruise control and don't drive over 63mph. I have a Scan Gauge II and I am going by that. Hope that gives you an idea my truck has just over 175,000 miles on it. I use a stock air filter I used to use K&N but it seemed to not improve my mileage so I went back to stock filter. The only problem I am having with my truck is the transmission and I will have that taken care of by wed.

96, mostly stock 460, 4x4, crew cab shortbed, EOD, 4.10's, 285 75 16's, 190000+ miles, K&N square filter and 3.5" cat back series 40 flowmaster, 9.5-10 around town unloaded, 6-7 highway with 8,000 fifth wheel. No idea on the highway unloaded.
I have a '96 F-250 with a 460 in it. I have 3.55:1 gear ratio and the E40D trans. I put on a free flow muffler, dropped down to 60 MPH on the highway. I was averaging 15 MPG but 60 MPH was getting too slow so now I am driving the speed limit and was getting 12.5 to 14 MPG. I now have a set of headers and slightly smaller tires on it and will know my new averages next month when I get back from my trip to Idaho.

Those are some mighty impressive mpg's for 460 cid v-8s trucks. My brothers 79 never gets over 8 mpg. It only has about 80K miles on the clock. New carb, tune the works. It's just an F-150 with 3.27 or 3.55 ( I think) rear end and the C 6 auto. Anything wacky with that? I think so. What to do for an improvement in mpgs? Opinions please....!

My Dad bought a new F-150 in 1979, a stripper with the 302, 2x4, auto, reg. cab. LB. I don't know the rear ratio.
And it never got over 9-11 mpg.
I blamed the 302. LOL

ok, than it has a E4OD.you should get about the mpg he says highway, 6-12 city, but that is just a guestament. If you post in the 87-96 forum, and give all the trucks specs, you should get a better idea.
Not entirely true. If it's an auto, you could also have a C6 in it up till 97 in 250/350's. If so you will get even worse mileage with that compared to an E4OD.
what? the C6 in a 97?!?
an OBD II c6?
are you f-ing with me?

I have one sitting behind my 460 in my 96 F350 4x4 right now. Some f250/350's up till 97 had the C6. I have seen many with my own eyes. I like knowing that even though I get raped on gas mileage with the 3-speed, my drivetrain is bulletproof.
