Read First post???????

Is there any way we could start a read first Highway mileage only and a read first combined mileage thread at the top the 6.0 forum. The V-10 forum did a great job with this. For example:
In your post put the following, please.

1. Year
2. Cab configuration
3. Current mileage on the odometer
4. Auto or stick
5. 2WD or 4WD
6. Rear gears
7. NON-stock tire size
8. Cap or no (if a P/U)
9. Any aftermarket accessory that has had an effect on your mileage if it is far off the forum's average.
10. MPG

Thanks for the quick replies guy's. But let's hold off a bit to see if the moderators think this would be good to add to the top. This way everybody can report their mileage to one thread.

I guess that is the price we pay to have so many members. Anyway We can do it here. Just everybody list two separate mpg's . One for highway and one for all around use. And maybe what you tow and what the mpg is with that wieght. Here is mine

2006 F350 4x4 SRW CC 6.0L
no mod's
lear cap on truck
18" wheels
3,852 miles
in town= 13-14mpg
highway at1800-2000rpm's is 17-18mpg
pulling TT@10,000lbs= 10mpg.
pulling boat 3,500lbs = 14.7mpg
Should get better as she breaks in

Thanks Tim & KW. Is it possible for this site to be too big. HA HA !! (Not)

By the way Tim or KW. Is it possible to change the title of this post to reflect Detailed 6.0 mileage report or something like that. Thanks if you can. If not maybe we can start a new one for everybody to report.

OK. I will start a new post. May be we could lock this one to keep the confusion out of the two posts.
