My truck (2016 F250 SCLB 6.2l 3.73 with stock Michelin Tires 275/65/18) isn't broken in yet, with just under 1,000 miles on it. Not sure how much that really matters, but I'm hoping for future improvement.

I'm averaging a hand calculated 13.5, mixed city and highway. The lie-o-meter has been within .2 each fill-up so far.

According to the lie-o-meter, at 60mph on a relatively flat highway, it averages around 17.5. Average drops to 15.5-16 at 70mph. Stop and go city traffic, 9-10. It does not take much stopping and going to make the lie-o-meter dive.

I'm a pretty conservative driver, with a pretty light gas pedal foot. For comparison, my previous truck was the 2.7l EB F150, which I was able to average 22mpg doing similar mixed city/highway driving.

Local driving with my 2016 Supercrew (about 1500 miles so far) has been from around 11.5 to a tad over 13. Mixed 2 lane state highway and small city driving. 3.73 rear with LT285/70 17 BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2 tires.
Pretty much the same as my 2014 Super Cab got. I haven't really driven it on an extended interstate highway run unloaded yet, so I'm unsure of the potential mileage there.

My 15' has the Lariat Ultimate Pkg, 3:73's and 20" Wheels. I've driven from Tampa to California twice within the last year. Now with 30,000 miles my overall average has been 15 mpg. It's been a perfect truck.

I have a 2015 4x4 f350 cclb and average around 14 highway and city. Truck is getting it's best mileage since I bought it with almost 23k miles on her. On backroads at 40 to 50 mph I get 18 mpg. Highway is 16.5. I ordered the truck with the 3.73 gears and stock 275/70/r18 Michelins. I couldn't be happier!

2016 Crew cab 4x4 with 3.73 and stock 275/70/r18 Michelins at just over 600 miles dash says 11.7 mpg but still climbing. Truck has been back to shop several times for issues and idle time is way up so expect it to keep climbing.

UPDATE: hit 1000 miles on the truck and up to 12.5 MPG and still going up.
