There is thread in this section not to far down with over 400 post about 6.2 mileage. I'm using the app or I would post the link for you. Mileage will vary with tire size, gear ratio, cab and bed configuration, terrain, driving condition, and a biggie is driving style.

But to answer your question, somewhere between 9 and 17 mpg.

I can get real close to 15 empty highway. I refuse to calculate what I am getting while towing. "Plausible deniability".

Empty I get around `4.5 to 16 depending on conditions, towing in the 9 to 10 range, mind you my 27 ft 5er isnt the worlds heaviest, but the nose of is like a arrowhead so it helps in my mind dispel a little bit when windy

Mind you I do use some tunes from 5Star to help with the shift strategy and gas mileage

Through the first 750 miles on my 17 f250 SCLB 4wd the lie-o-meter is telling me I'm getting 11.2 mpg. Most of that has been an even split of country roads and city driving. The 75 or so miles I was on the interstate with the cruise set at 70 it claimed I was getting 15.5mpg

On our last trip up into the CO mountains I used 85 on one fill up and then before we came back down I filled with mid grade (87) and I couldn't tell any difference. I do think that the big difference is the high altitude blend not just octane level. I always use 85 in the higher elevations I just tried 87 to see if I could tell the difference.

We averaged 8.4 on the 1800 mile trip with maybe 400 miles not pulling, lots of cross winds and CO mountian grades plus we were pulling the boat behind the trailer.
