diesel /mileage
Can anyone tell me what kind of gas/mileage I could expect with a F250 regular cab 2WD with a 6.9 diesel with manual transmission.

I'm sure it will beat my 8 mpg I get with my 460 auto now.

Depends a lot on how you drive and where you live.
Mine was a 86 6.9 4 speed with 3.55's in the axles.
I ran mine hard, hauled a lot, towed even more and live in the WV mountains.
Mine was also a 4x4, had a dump bed on it and a snow plow so it was heavy 7860 pounds empty.
My yearly averages were close to 10 for the 7 years I kept close records.
But that was drawn down considerably by snow plowing at 4 MPG.

Is there anything I can do to up my mileage? I've got an 86 2wd c-6 6.9, and I'm only getting about 10 mpg

Actually, I really don't drive all that fast. My average speed is about 45 to 55 mph, since the MP's are pretty hard on speeding, and I just drive it to work and back. I don't like rompin on it since I want it to last. I did an oil change on it when I first got it, but haven't had a chance to do much else yet. It's due up in a couple of weeks for another oil change though. I was hoping someone might know something that might help with the mileage though
