it is combined, but a very large percentage of my daily driving is 2 and 4 lane highway. I run it on eco when it is not pulling.

2023 6.8 gas F250 XL 4x4 crew cab 6.8' bed with STX appearance package. With eco setting I normally sit at 17.5 mpg daily, lots of highway in the daily drive, and I set the cruise to the posted limit. We just took a 10 hour drive from Eastern North Carolina to Clarksville, TN and the truck netted 18.1. We went over the mountains and hit lots of traffic jams a couple of hours before getting in. I love the eco mode. In my experience, it tandems better with cruise control for the best results. I cancel the cruise when coming down big hills so the truck can just glide. If not it will down shift to jeep the speed where I set it. Yesterday we just towed an empty 6 x 12 uhaul from Clarksville to Quincy IL. I tried eco just to see what it looked like vs normal and tow/haul. Eco was 12, normal was 13.7, and tow haul was 12.5. I was going through Illinois during the experiment so the terrain was pretty flat and traffic was not causing issues. Even in St. Louis.

I rarely exceed 65 mph so I thought the 4.30 gears would serve me well. I may have been duped by comments posted here, but we shall see.

(seems to be planted to the road better sense I added a real hub to the passenger side.) Miles per gal seems to be more consistent also.

My problem is it is almost impossible to drive in Houston or on highways at posted speed limits. Basically speed limits are a floor not a limit. Try driving speed limits, will get run over. My current F150 with 3.5 EB gets around 16+ at up to 90 mph. Highway driving usually at 80+, in Houston absolutely normal to hit 80 every day on beltway 8 and 225. Crazy traffic. When I get my F350 I will try to keep speeds lower but likely will not be very successful. Looking for 12 mpg if I am lucky. But I knew this before ordering the truck. I need the towing capacity the F150 is not made to do. New truck: F350 CCSB, 7.3, 4.30, Tremor.

My 2022 F350 DRW with 4.30s will get 12mpg at 80mph with little to no wind.
