Any more info on the truck ? crewcab,supercab,regular cab?
What gear ratio?
What yr?
What tranny?
And What kind of driving do you do
And Where do you live (elevation)
Lots of things determine the mpg's you will get
I'll give you a range from 10 towing to 17 highway and anything in between!
Now you should really do a search around here because this has been discussed so many times before.
That alot of guys will not even answer your post.

Gregscott,
Steve here... my 06 4x4 has only 500 miles on it. I got 13mpg combined today on non reformulated. That was 60/40 hyw city. I have a 5.4 3:73 gear.
I started the thread below, last month with the same concern. Lots of great information... Everyone on this forum has been very helpful.

I have a 2001 F 250 SC longbed, 5.4 engine, 3.73 rear, 285/16 tires, plow package springs in the front and 2" add a leafs in the rear, with over 68000 miles. I get 13.5 mpg average, less than 25% of it being highway miles. You will hear people say that the 5.4 is underpowered, but that is not my experience. I haul many full loads of fresh cut firewood (mostly oak) each year, and have plenty of power to spare. A friend has a F350 shortbed with the v 10 and doesn't work it all. He told me he gets about 10 mpg. Everyone has their own preferences, but I'm happy with the 5.4
