in town in the winter i am at 10-12 but i let it idle to warm the cab, in the summer 12-14 but i let it ldle to cool down the cab. on the highway 14-18 depending on wind, temperature, speed, and how far i go.

winter mileage is with straight #2 and howes anti-gel. running blended fuel will drop it a couple more digits.

Awwww...the age old question...lol. Well My 6.0 7" lifted 38" CC gets approx. 13mpg overall. I guess I should chip it and new exhaust as suggested to get more MPG.

depends on driving style. If I baby a tank of fuel I'll get 16-17 city and 22-23 highway. If I hot rod a tank I'll get 12-13 cuty and 17-18 highway. Even the same physical truck has a wide mpg range. Drive nice and the mpg will be nice

I've got a 2004 F-350 CC 4x4 PSD with a Camper Shell and the TorqShift tranny in it, stock.

On the Highway, I range from 17-20 MPG. In town I get 15-16. If I load up the trailer, I'll get 11-14 depending on the load.

My '05 F250 CC PSD gets 15.5-16.0 mpg city and about 19-20 mpg highway at 68-70 mph. I just had the emissions recall done and after 1000 miles the truck runs really good and the mileage is still the same.....

I also get 15-16 city and 19-29 Hwy. I've only got 4000 on my 06 so I'm anxious to see what it gets at 12k-15K...I doubt it will get much better, but I'm pleased.
