New truck
I picked up my 2020 F250 with 7.3L on Friday afternoon. Drove around town on Saturday and then Sunday drove 200 miles to Iowa and back, and then Tuesday morning drove 800 miles back to Maryland. Truck has driven amazing! I love the engine and the transmission has been super smooth. Driving 800 miles, mostly at 80MPH I averaged 14.8 MPG. I did some testing and at 80 MPH I got slightly better mileage in normal mode versus ECO. I guess at that speed there is no advantage to ECO. Around town and driving 45-65 MPH I was getting darn near 17 MPG. I am loving the new truck so far!

I see about 13-14 on the highway and 10mpg driving around town with my Lariat FX4 7.3L. I must be doing something wrong.
