what is the gas mileage on a V10 super Duty?

 

Hey drock32 welcome to the site. There are numerous threads on the V-10 forum about V-10s gas mileage. Check over there. Again welcome your goin like this site. Use the search function very helpful. Good Luck

 

I had a 99 F-250 XLT SC short box, auto SD w/ the V-10. Best unloades milage I EVER saw was 12.2. Mostly around 11.8. 70/30 highway town, highway @ 70. With the 29 g tank, best I every went was 350mi.

The 03 6.0 PSD XLT SC long box, 6-spd, gets 18-19 in the same conditions, will hold a 6-7% grade @ 65 all day (towing 7k #s). At 62, towing it gets 14. @ 70, 11.

And it uses Bio-diesel, which is the best thing you can do for homeland security, your truck, the environment, & the economy.

 

well before the gas prices went up my onboard computer was always around the 10 mark av. ive sinced changed my driving style and im gettin between 13-14.

f-250 cc 4x4 3.73

My 05 averages (combined city and hwy) 12.5+ unloaded and 11-11.5 towing 7k. The towing includes going over the grapevine in Socal up to SF area and back. The 3v motors seem to be better on gas than the 2v motors.

 

Granted mine has mod's but I get 14-15 in 50-50 mixed driving.

 

welcome to FTE, the best ford truck site on the web, please take some time to read our site guide lines and each areas read firsts to help guide you though our site,

as to your ? you have come to the right place, pull down to the performace engine area v10's and ask us v10 nuts away.

 

My Crew Cab gets 9.9 in town and 14.5 on the Highway. I have 60psi in the tires and a retrax top on the bed.

P.S. Welcome to FTE!

 

I have a 2000 V10 Crew 2WD. I get 12mpg in the city and 14 on highways at above 75mph speeds. If I take it easy around 70, I get 14.5 to 15mpg. I think it's not too bad considering the new F150 and Titan gets around 12 mpg average.

 

what can I do to improve my gas milage? 2008 6.8, cc,sb, 4wd, auto, 83000 miles, Lariat 20 in. fac. wheels, stock. Thanks in advance. I heard to add an economy tuner from 5 star, I get around 11 to 12 miles per gallon.

 

Other than a lighter foot, properly inflated tires and clean filters, not much really. Some on the forum suggest the 5star tune and maybe different gearing. But, even those theoretical gains take a LONG time to justify the expense based purely on increases in gas mileage (there are other reasons for the 5Star tune as I'm sure you may know)

The reality is you have a big truck with a big engine.

 

My '04 gets 12-ish in town, 14-15 freeway only at about 65 mph. Raise it to 70 or more and the mileage drops. These things are not very aero-freindly at all. As for all the crap intended to raise your mileage, I say save your money. If there's one conclusion I've come to in three years of reading all the "sure-fire" mpg aids, I have realized there isn't one. However, I can say with all certainty that driving with mileage in mind absolutely will pay off. My wife drives my truck, it gets 10 mpg, I drive the same truck it gets 12 mpg. That's over 20% better in the same truck just by not driving it like it was a sports car. There's no magic fix for making your V10 truck more fuel efficient, but by concentrating on all the little things, like tire pressure, driving habits, keeping 1,000 lbs of crap out of the bed, don't put big tires on it and so on it actually gets good mileage for what it is.
