Normally MPG goes up as the engine loosens up. You will never see a 2-3 mpg increase, more like 1/2 to 3/4 mpg increase.

2003 f250 4x4 CC V10 lariat 10mpg average. I traded in a 1992 4x4 f150 with a 351 that fgot between 12 and 13 mpg. This is a much heavier truck with 2 more cylinders to feed so a drop in gas mileage was expected. I wouldnt go back. I weighd the truck the other day on 2 scales it came in at 6,840lbs. I also has a lot more snap than that old 351.

Truck has about 9500 miles and the mpg has been creeping up lately. Only about a gain of 1-1.5mpg. I know thats not a lot of miles for its age but I have a work truck that gets used all week long. The work trk is a 91 F-350 7.3L.

Only read the first question post and none of the others...

so here is my MPG for the signature truck

16 miles each way daily plus minor running around... 11.7mpg with a fairly lead foot driver over highways 75mph, and city 35-45mph

Out on the highway between Central Texas and Tucso Az mostly Interstate 10 rated 80mph and truck sailing along at 84-89mph............. I get a solid 12.3mpg average for A round trip including the crappy clean air gas in Arizona.

My trips up and over three significant pases into and back out of Colorado (Ratone NM, Loveland, and Vail @11,800 feet) with the truck near max GCVW at 22,840lbs gets 7.9 to 9.2 mpgs at 65mph for a typical 2300mile trip.

06 ford diesel V8 gas mileage

Hello, new to this site, just bought and 06, what kind of gas mileage should we be getting. Not pulling anything yet. Also does anyone know why the diesel gas is so much more than regular? I heard it coincided with heating oil costs. Ex. when heating oil cost is cheaper, say in the summer, so is diesel. In the winter heater oil is higher, so the diesel will be higher. Of course this year, because of the hurricanes everything is askewed. But will diesel prices get back to normal, (a little under regular)? Thanks, T
