Expected Fuel economy

I just bought a '95 F-350 CC PSD with an auto. It has 144k and will be delivered later this month. What kind of fuel economy can I expect around town and on the highway at 70 MPH or so?

A lot depends on how big your right foot is. A truck your size won't do very well, I would guess around 15-17 if you stay below 70. Go over that and you end up with 13. Just a guess.

I got a 96 250 2wd and if I keep my foot outta the accelerator, stay under 2000 rpm I am getting 18+. At almost 3 per gallon I tend to drive like a grandpa. Not sure of the rear gears but I know its not a 4.10 I am thinking either a 3.55 or 3.73.
Good luck

I have a 97, 4x4,auto, 4.10 gears. Have never gotten better than 17 hwy, 13 city. I try real hard to not stand on it, but everytime I mod something, my foot seems to gain a pound or two.
