Just back from a 2200 mile round trip. Solo, on flat highway with cruize control set at 80. Hand calculated at 14.8 mpg. Not overely thrilled about that mileage, but I don't buy em for the mpg's.
04 350 CC LB 3.73 auto 4x4 with cap and 10k miles on it. Just reflashed prior to the trip due to rough idle and smoke on cold start and just switched from Rotella to Mobile 1 Delvac.
Same trip, my 99,00 and 01 trucks would get about 18. My 97 cc lb 350 4x2 psd w/3.55 rear would get 21-22 mpg w/ 150k on it. Loved that truck.
Oh well, I still wouldn't trade my 6.0 for anything else on the market.

Around home I get 16mpg empty. and as low as 11mpg towing 7500lbs on two lane roads in the mountains of S. W. Virginia.

F350 CC Dually 4X4 6.0L 4.10 gears and the 5 speed auto. The truck has 550 miles on it and on the first tank of fuel I got 13.9mpg. That's all I can say so far. Not bad as far as I'm concerned running with duals and 4X4. Hopefully it will get better from here and not worse

Also, an absolute ***** to the wall round trip, accelerator on the floor the entire way, with a 10,000 pound trailer in tow from Cincinnati to the Smokies, very hilly, and I got 9.5. I was very happy with that mileage as well as the overall performance of the truck while towing 10k.
