It has been colder than normal here and short trips have gotten me down to 14.5.
You will get better fuel milage with a lighter truck so I would have to say a F-250 would be more efficient on the fuel. Usually F-350's have lower gears and heavy drivetrains that causes more consumption also.

All really depends on how much time you spend above 2k rpm. If I cruise at 68mph about 1950rpm I get over 19mpg. Flat terrain and warmer OAT's net mpg over 20. My truck gets very thirsty at the higher rpm's

If I stay at 65mph I can exceed 20mpg, highway, (actual not the computer display) Typical city/highway I get in the 16 range.
