Was not taken as a personal attack I knew I was probably opening a can of worms.
It is a 2002 7.3, 4 door, Stick Shift, 3.73 gears.
Good to know I did not know that was an option. I will look into it. Thanks.

Is it Android (torque Pro) or iOS (Dash Command)? Get yourself an OBDII adaptor (Chinese knock-off $20, proper unit $100) and you're less than a Hamilton from a scan tool.

I have a 2wd with a zf6 I can get 20 mpg in. Keep that thing in the highest gear without it lugging, I mean like 1200 rpm. Don't go fast, The 6 speeds do best as slow as you can go.
I went over 900 miles on a 38 gallon tank once when I was working out in the boonies taking back roads at 45mph.
It's easier to get good fuel mileage with a 6 speed but you can't be in a hurry. Interstate speeds kill your mileage. Get the dash Command with instant MPG's and you will learn how to drive more efficiently. But like everyone said you have to have her running right.
