do you drive a 6.7 PSD?
I am looking at buying a 6.7 powerstroke but I am looking for some honest fuel economy numbers from real owners - like true average mixed use both loaded and empty best and worst etc. - I'm looking at a crew cab 4x4. Thanks guys!

I have a KR 4 Door, short bed, 3.31 rear end, 4 x 4. On the highway @ 75 mph I am getting about 20 to 20.5 mpg. City driving I am in the range of 14.5 to 15 mpg. My trailer is a tag 26' enclosed trailer with car and assorted junk it weighs in at about 9,000 lbs and I get about 12.5 to 13 mpg towing at 65 mph.

I am at 17.9 from birth. One trip to Fl and back from Chicago, a couple of 500 mile trips to cabin and the rest around town. Not much towing yet.
I have heard of the numbers in the 20's, have not seen that. On the FL trip had it on cruise and saw numbers just shy of 19.
2012 CC LB. Happy with the numbers so far.

depend on how twitchy my right foot is !
if I get up to speed and hit reset I can consistently see 23 or 23.5 @ 1600 rpms but that is a small subset....
really hammering on it and have seen 8.5 towing 23k total gcw.
around town easy driving - typically 16 or 17...
on the hwy @ 80 or above about 17....
I will say this, it's better than my 7.3 or my two 6.0's in ANY conditions...

15 to 15.5 in the city, 23-24 on the highway at 65mph and towing my 30' toy hauler 'down' to the desert or river and then back 'up' to the house I average 12.5 mpg. almost "unlimited" power when towing and very nice having the engine/exhaust braking system.

I long term average 13.6 mpg. 350 long bed, leveling kit, 3.55 gears, 4door 4x4. I also trimmed 6" off my air dam under the front bumper. City driving with some towing. Lots of slow speed dirt roads and stopped/running the AC.

thanks !
I thought stopping the air flow UNDER a rough underbody was better than the alternative...

I couldn't handle the way it looked. I also was concerned it would rip off driving through cotton stalks during harvest season.
The larger tires and a heavy foot have the greatest impact.

17-18 @ 75 on the interstate.
12-15 in town, depending how hard I hammer on it.
3.55 locking rearend. Lifted, 35" mud tires (80ish lbs each), about 6" cut off the front air dam and of course it's tuned/deleted.
