2000 SC/SB, 4x4, auto, 3.73 gears, 285's, 47k when sold, open bed

Open element AirHog(cut snorkle), ZOODAD, Flo-Pro catback duals
Consistently got 10.9 all around. This was with a 50/50 mix city and highway, and 4500 rpm on a daily basis, loved to race the little punks in their rice burners. Had one trip where I had one quad in the bed, two on an aluminum snowmobile trailer, did 59 mph whole time, got 14.6 mpg. I have everything documented, filled to the brim each time.

Post O.K. Monsta, I'll Play

'02 F-250, Crew cab, short bed, 4x4
Auto, 3.73 gears, cap (the one that makes it look like an Excursion, straight roof lines), and 285 GF Goodrich AT
58K on the odometer, no mods

Average around 13 mpg. I do 90 plus percent hwy driving.

16+ mpg is the best I have seen. It was for a short period of time driving on hwy at like 62 mph with limited stops. Headed from Emerald Isle, NC to I-95 with passengers and load of vacation gear. Once I got on the interstate and started driving 85 mph, went down. Trip end was an average around 15 which I was happy with. Both overhead and hand calculated. This was summer time with AC on.

BTW - It doesn't get much drive time now as my econo-car '94 Sable gets the call most of the time. Last trip 25.7 mpg

Thumbs up Solid V10 performance

Let's make the poll an average MPG. That's COMBINED highway & city.
1. Year -- 2003
2. Cab configuration -- SuperCab SWB
3. Current mileage on the odometer -- 88,776 miles
4. Auto or stick -- Auto
5. 2WD or 4WD -- 4WD
6. Rear gears -- 3.73s
7. NON-stock tire size -- Stock LT265/75R16E
8. Cap or no (if a P/U) -- No Cap
9. Any aftermarket accessory that has had an effect on your mileage if it is far off the forum's average. -- No aftermarket YET. All Stock...

Add any other MPG info in your post that you feel will be helpful such as, actual city & highway, towing MPG, etc. -- City = 11mpg and Highway = 14-15 mpg. Have not towed with my V10 yet. Purchase date of SD V10: 11/09/2005.

16mpg Average. Odo checked for accuracy with my GPS. Summer rubber: 255/70-16 Yokahama Geolander HT/S. Getting 12mpg Average but the Odo is about 3.5% Low due to the oversized tires. Going to try adding a little acetone in the next fill-up see if we can get 20 mpg highway.

Super Cab
54,000 MI
4WD
3.73 LS
285's
Banks Powerpack

My daily driving is 50 miles round trip to and from work. It is 50/50 city/highway. I usually average 13-14 mpg with all the mods. This time of year with the truck in 4WD half of the time it drops a lot to about 10-11. In the summer with moderate temps and low humidity I have got 14.5 a few times.
