I would love to see that kind of mileage. we are right in the 12-13 in town with a 15mpg on the hwy. i typically drive under 70mph keeping the rpms around 1900. running a 33 toyo MT which will be swapped out for an All-Terrain this summer.
on my list of improvements this spring are blue spring, exhaust, possible Atlas 40 and alt upgrade. If i could see high teens on the hwy and maintain the 12+ towing our 7000lb travel trailer that would be great.

Some of the same here. Run T6 always, additive to the fuel always, tonneau cover always, try to keep the RPM at 2000 as that's the magic number for performance and efficiency. I never drive the speed limit, even run tow/haul to keep the RPM in the ban.... yes, tow/haul will keep the RPM a little higher for better efficiency. Try it and see what your mileage does, it may be different but it works.

I have 05 CC SB Lariat. Tonneau cover, egr delete, stock size tires. I run 70 PSI all the way around. I run Spartan aggressive street tune and drive the speed limit. I am pretty easy on the throttle, but do like to hear the turbo spool up every now and again. I run Rotella T6. I average 15 in the winter and 18 in the summer, mix of town and highway driving. Straight long road trips I usually get 19 mpg. I run Hot shot secrets EDT in the tank also. 4X4 btw. I don't know anyone with a truck newer than mine that gets any better mileage, most get worse!

Im glad to know some getting so many mpg with this 6.0, makes me think mine has the potential, but i realy have no clue what this thing gets except loaded with my flatbed that never gets disconnected,9.8 mpg at 65 in tow mode,now that number does consist of town and hway, so i put a 103 gal aux tank onboard that keeps main full all the time if fuels in aux tank.

Well i finally got some Nitto G2 allterrains mounted. Truck also just had the stand pipes replaced and oil cooler replaced. we have a 600 mile round trip coming up soon so it will be interesting to see how the MPG changes if at all. We also installed a Bestop soft top canopy. not the best for aerodynamics

I'm running a 05' 250 supercab, 6" lift, 35" tires, egr delete, banks exhaust and I'm averaging around 9.6mpg between a mix of around town / highway. About 275 miles on my supposed 30 gallon tank. Wtf am I doing wrong- I also drive like a grandma.

I haven't been on a road trip in a long time. Mixed city/country driving I'm getting around 14 (real), liar gauge was showing 14.2.
Mine's all stock, running Cooper all terrain stock size 18's.
New oil cooler, standpipes, STC, map, EBP, temp sensors, radiator, 195 thermostat.
ECT/EOT normal = 192/194, no load, SC type winter.

Kids truck get around 14 city and still pushes 20 or better HWY even with those big Nitto Grapplers.
