diesel milage
hey guys
i am trying to get a baseline on milage for my truck.
i have a early 99 psd 4x4 f350 drw
lately i have been getting 12.5 to 13.5
the truck is stock with no mods whatsoever
is this a normal mpg?

My '00 was SRW CC 4x4 and my around town (which was acutally a mix of stop and go and toll road at highway speeds) driving produced between 14-15 mpg before I installed bigger tires and put a leveling kit on. Mileage went down to 13-14 and stayed there for the duration of the time I owned the truck. On the highway, I could get about 17mpg.
I wish my '06 would think about getting the same 14-15 that I got in town with my '00.

I have a 2000 F350 7.3 cc lb drw 4x4...
Around town I see about 13-13.5 mpg.
If I do a lot of highway driving, I see around 17-19 tops.... but I always end up doing plenty of around town, so it'll end up around 15.
This is hand calculated...

04 250 cc 4X4 55000 miles, 4" lift, 35", Banks exhaust, Banks six-gun, 16.3 mpg with mix highway and stop and go hand calculated. traveling on flat interstate at 65 mph and reset the lie o meter and it says 21 mpg. i drive like I got some sense, maybe that is my problem.

It looks to me like all the replies are from SRW owners. We should probably post a thread just for duallies. My mileage also seems low in comparison to other trucks of the same year, but I'm beginning to think 1 or even 2 mpg may be due to the the DRW!

i see that it does look like the culprit is the drw
that is ok, i like to see the about 17 on the freeway though.
i had seen some of the mpgs in some of the other threads and thought
that i had something wrong with my truck, but it looks like the avg.
thanks guys,
would a new intake, exhaust and chip make a diff in mpg
i am currently looking at a afe stage2 and a 4" mbrp exhaust.
also, would a tonneau cover help? as opposed to open box

I have a 01 f250 CC 4x4 SRW and I cannot get more than 13-14mpg no matter what I do. I got the same mpg before the programmer, 4" MBRP and AFE filter. I have a hard cover too. I think some guys just luck out as to which truck they get from the factory and the mpg is predetermined.
