2011 F250 6.2L Lariat

I've got the chance to step up into a 2011 F250 6.2 Crew Cab 4x4. I'm currently driving a 2011 Chevy Silverado Ext. Cab 4x4. I've been really impressed with the gas mileage, but that's about it. The F250 is a 2011 and has 104K on it....they've offered me an even trade for what I owe on mine. Basically, I can trade into this truck for 30K. The only thing that scares me is the gas mileage because I know nothing about this motor. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

By way of comparison, my 05 Jetta TDI averages 4.8L/100km which is about 58mpg. So the truck has been a bit of a shock! My wife's 02 Tahoe falls right in between.

I was worried about the bigger 6.2 and 6.8 engines but now I think I'll be just fine. I already burn 15l/100km (15.7mpg) with my Acura MDX suv doing a mix of city and highway. I also burn 13l/100km (18mpg) with the Acura TL doing mostly city.

Going from 15l to 19l for a truck that has 6.2l vs 3.7l sounds like a great deal. Also being able to fillup with regular instead of 91+ octane.
