fuel mpg
What should expect from a 2005-2007 f250 with a 6.0 for fuel mpg? im trying to decide what to get in my next truck i dont tow alot but trying to figure out if the cost of a 6.0 is really worth it over a gas engine. So thanks for any input

Just bought a 2006 6.0/3.73 gears/5 speed AT/od and have the following...
Total around town..14
Straight highway at 65...19.2
Some town and highway at 65-75...16.2
That contrasts to my 1996 7.4/3.55 gears/4 speed od that averages:
19-23 highway
17-19 town
The power difference is very noticeable. The 2006 is easily a rocket off the line. The 96 "winds up"....
Both trucks are F250/SuperCrew/Shortbox. LT265-70-16 on the 96 and LT275-70-18 on the 06.

I have a friend who runs a 2002 or 03 F350 SuperCrew Dually 6.0 4.11/LT265 tires that gets 21 on the highway unloaded. He uses a Edge Juice Programmer.
As to the 7.3, I have a friend who is a diesel mechanic who was getting mid-20s with a early 1990s standrad cab long box dually....with a standard transmission.
My parents live in Ct. Just got diesel for $4.22 at the Sam's Club in Newington Monday. Most other stations are close to $4.30. Here in NH it is in the $3.95 range...
