2003 F250 with 5.4, 3.73 gears with 3400 miles on it.

Pulling in town--9.5 mpg
Driving in town no trailer--14 mpg
On road at 77mph no trailer--13.5 mpg

 

02 f250 5.4 3.73 SC SB , 14 average in the summer, 12 average in the winter, very happy with this truck and motor combo, but if I had an extra 10k laying around it would be a PSD

 

Right around 12 in town and 14-15 on the highway at 60-65mph. I did get 16 once or twice...oh and 10 with the camper.

 

2002 F-250 SD CC SB 2WD 5.4L gasser with 3.73LS, 235/85X16 Michelin LTX's, and a totally stock suspension:

14 mpg (combined city/hwy)
16 mpg (if highway driving only)

 

Hey all, was gonna start a new thread but figured I'd throw it in here. My last tank dropped 3mpg!! I use the same station every tank and all of a sudden it dropped from an average of 10.8 to 7.5!! I'm sure the cold weather has something to do with it but it shouldn't cause that much of a drop?

Already on this tank, I've gone 31 miles and used almost 1/4 of a tank. I usually get 70- 80 miles before hitting the 1/4 mark. Same gas from same station? Could it be bad gas? I don't drive a lot during the winter, live less than 2 miles to work so go about 2 -3 weeks on a tank of gas.


Truck is 2003 F250CC 4x4, 5.4, 3.73 and 305's. Just turned 11,000 miles. Thanks in advance!!

 

When it gets down to 5 mpg, SELL! SELL! (Buy Low Sell High)

But on a serious note (F major) gas mileage takes a big hit when it gets cold and you take short trips. I drive 2.7 miles one-way to work and when it gets really cold (in the 20's, yes that's really cold for TX) the mpg's have gone as low as 9 mpg. I usually get around 13 in the summer.

 

I bought mine (below) new and have kept a running gas log that lists a low of 13.8 when brand new and a high of 16.2 on the highway doing around 65 mph. The running total to date average is 14.4. I'm an old guy who cruises around 50 mph most of the time (except when traffic demands otherwise). My truck is loaded with three tool boxes and right now, has 350 lbs of sand bags in the bed as well. The above figures reflect the load year around. ........As for Crownie1, I'd run a couple more tanks before making any conclusions (assuming its performing okay). Other than tools boxes, running boards, cab rack and rear sway bars, there are no other mods....also has stock wheels and tires .....mileage to date is 35,000. No return visits to the dealer either...runs great. Do my own maintenance.

 

I have a 1995 F-350 crewcab 4x4 auto 460 gas with an utility bed. Around town about 8mpg on the highway about 10mpg. I would love to get 12-14 mpg but I don't see that happening.

 

I just bought a 500 gallon gas tank off ebay, I'll mount it in the bed and only have to fill up once a week...lol

2004 F250 4x4 S Cab Short Bed 3.73 Gears 5.4 Eng.
Its about 3 months old 1700 miles. Took my wife to Doctor out of town. About 80 miles round trip, got 11 mpg, very disappointed. The truck I had before this one(2001 F150 S crew 3.55 gears 5.4 eng.) I got 18 mpg on a trip to South Carolina, and that was one week after I had bought it.

 

man i got a 2000 F250 SD with 218.000 mils an git 15 MPG an i put a lift an 33s but i put E MAX PROGRAMER ON IT an went from 11MPG to 15 MPG. You might look in to giting the progamer it works an may do more for you if its stock truck. an youre 250 is about 3000 pounds heavyer than the 150 its working more to go

 

I get terrible mileage esp the other day when I went 15 miles with the Ebrake on.. LOL

 

THATS GOT TO SUCK IVE DONE IT TO AN IT STINKS
