7.3 Powerstroke Fuel Mileage
2001 with 3.73s rolling 305 70 16s and I get 15-16.5mpg mostly back roads babied in the summer and about 10-20% less on winter fuel.
Highway at 65-70mph at about 1900rpm I'll get 17.5-18.5 if I'm good to it.
Pulling our 2 horse bumper trailer at 60-65mph (and it tows like a brick), I think I was at 13-15mpg.

I drove 250+ miles all interstate between 75-80 mph and got 18.83 mpg all hand calculated. If I kept it between 55-60 I could easily get over 20 all highway but that is very likely not to happen because I don't drive that slow. Also if I hit a few stop lights on the way it hurts mine pretty bad. I also was curious about all this great mileage but once I checked it all non stop driving mine does pretty well. Its very rare I drive all highway so mostly I get around 16-17
Only had four tanks run through my new "2002"
My "new" truck has 174000 on the odo and Im getting 12mpg - all city stop and go. Im running Stanadyne Pro in every tank. I have already added a banks cold air intake. Saving up for a DP tuner (80E) hope that will get me boosted up a little bit. I'm looking for 15 in the city and 18-20 on the highway.
I have an 02 with 165000 on it, city driving is 13-15 depending on my foot and 16-17.5 highway. That's with 6637 and superchips on fuel saver. I discovered a plugged ebps tube and sensor yesterday though so hopefully this clean one will get me near 18-20. Is injectors really the secret to joining the 20+ mpg club? Many members I've met on here are attaining that type of mileage with not only a helium filled right foot but with upgraded injectors. I've been scratching my chin about this but there awfully expensive to trial and error.
Edit: Ill be driving there from Kingsville Texas. What a trip it'll be.

Truck in my signature does well. This summer on a trip to SD we got 22.5 as a best with the average at 22. In the winter (MI) the average is around 19. Normal summer driving is 21.something. Mileage is always calculated by hand as I have no lie-o-meter.
I don't have a tuner, just intake and exhaust and I'm in the mid teens most tanks.
Truck is prepped for a tuner in that it breaths well and I have the gauges for EGT and Bosot, just need tranny temp etc. Just haven't found the need for more juice yet, I only tow a horse trailer with it and it isn't like it struggles......although I do enjoy dropping a dark cloud from it occasionally so I can see the power being addictive.

I'm getting 14.5 mostly highway/some city on my 2000 F250, 266k miles, auto trans. Only mod is a 6637 filter. I also use stanadyne treatment. When I bought the truck 6 months ago I was getting better mileage. Maybe I need to clean my EBF sensor tube?
