6.2l XLT FX4 3.73 gears premium package. A lot of city driving but have made half dozen 2 hour trips on highway. I’m fairly easy on the pedal too. Hoping once I get it broke I’m a little more mpg will be better

My 17 crew cab short bed with6,300 miles on it gets 13.1.
And that's with the added weight of a cap, cargo glide and about 800 pounds of tools. When I first got it before I added those things I was averaging 14.3.
I do a good mix of highway and city every week.
Hope this helps.

My readout is always between 11-12mph, have only had it a month. All highway to work 13 miles each way & around town errands so far. I do expect my mileage to be way off as I spend most of my work breaks napping (12 hour shifts) in my truck with it idling in the parking lot for maybe a total of 2 hours a day.
Have only towed my 6x10 enclosed trailer one time to Home Depot to pick up windows for my house. I bought the truck new up in Casper WY last month and drove it home to Denver mostly in 4Hi (blizzard conditions), readout was 16-17 mpg that trip, 390 miles or so, bone stock configuration.

2017 supercrew long bed 6.2 XL 3.73
At about 1k miles I added wheels & tires (35” 12.5 20’s)
Sitting at about 2400 miles now after a month of ownership

MPG good news

As I have been driving a 2010 F-250 5.4L 4x4 Super cab XLT long bed since April of 2010 and have logged 255,000 plus miles it has been a good truck. mostly typical stuff. Brakes and tires, just installed the third set of breaks, set number four on tires are reaching the EOL. A tune up, fuel pump do to fuel sensors (approx 221,000 miles), starter start to hang at about 225,000 and a trans overhaul at 243,000. Other than that all routine stuff. I run the truck very heavy, I have north of 1800 pounds on the truck at all times, rolling weight is about 9300 pound plus people I allow to ride. The my user name says I am a Scale Tech. This is a company truck and I I don't have to swallow the fuel costs, typical mileage of 12 average. I have always thought the truck was a little under powered and the breaking system was a little light. This was confirmed when I drove a co-workers 2013 with a 6.2L.
All that said I will get my new 2018 XLT Crew cab 4x4 short bed in a few weeks, there were no gas powered truck on the lots in my area, Idaho, in white. So, order was placed and it is awaiting assembly. Looking very much forward to many of the new feature that have been added to the XLT premium package.
From this thread freeway range of 14 to 15 sounds pretty good to me. Here in Idaho other than in the cities and towns most everything is mostly Hwy level of driving, outside of town everything is pretty much mile grids and 1 to 4 miles between stop signs. So, I think I will fare pretty well even though I will be running heavy all the time. If I can average 13.5 or better that will be a bonus.
My current Super Duty will live on and transfer to a coworker who logs far less miles per year than I do.

My long term mileage over 2000 miles is 11.9. That's a even mix of highway and city. Straight highway mileage is 14 to 15 MPGs.

2017 6.2 CCSB 3.73 18 INCH. I am getting 11.06 US mpg over 11k miles ( converted from 21.2 litres / 100 kms). I drive like a granny and my idle time is about 20%. I think idle time has a big affect if you live in a northern climate. Majority of time truck is in operation is city driving. Towed about 2000 miles of 11000 miles at 65 mph max.

2017 6.2 CCSB 3.73, 4X4, 20" most of the bells and whistles.
I only have 2600 miles, and most of my driving is city and I am averaging 10 - 11 mpg. I don't drive like a granny. On the one highway drive I have done it did around 14-15. I have seen the mpg going up since new, first tank was like 9 mpg with easy driving. I don't tow or drive empty most of the time. Recently added a BAK MX4 cover, maybe that will help. I am sure using the remote start doesn't help.

Gas is relatively inexpensive, $2.65/gal it will hurt a little more at $4, but compared the cost of the truck and all my other expenses it's still one of the smaller expenses. More then made up for in the enjoyment of driving it.

Just hit 1500 miles today - 2/3 city and 1/3 hwy, averaging 12.3 mpg. I am pleased, my '17 6.7 with 9000 miles was at 14.5mpg. My only complaint is that I have yet to put more than 30 gallons in tank, whats up with the gauge?!

My CCLB F350 King Ranch with 4.30 gears has a lifetime mileage of 11.8 over 10000 miles. This is mostly short trips on rural roads with a lot of elevation change. This also includes approx. 1000 miles towing a approx. 8500lb trailer.

Without towing a usually average 12.3 over a tank of gas. For the capability of the truck I am happy with this.

I know mine is a 4.30 but I thought I would just throw this out there for comparison.

2017 f250 ccsb 3.73, stock 275/65r20, 27,000miles total. Display reads 12.7mpg and has never been reset. 1000 -1500 miles of towing a 8k camper otherwise almost always unloaded and drive mostly on flat Iowa ground. I' say 2/3rd highway/interstate 1/3rd in town. During the summer hand calc highway mileage is 13-15mpg, in town 9-10mpg.
