Third tank of fuel got 9.6 MPG, mostly stop-n-go traffic on city streets. Overall average has been 10.3 MPG.
Still trying to figure out how to paste a Microsoft Excel chart so you all can see.
2008 F350 6.4L, KR, LWB, DRW, 4x4 4.10 rear end.

my 2000 350 srw 4x4 got 15 in the city pulling trailer and 23 on the hwy empty the 6.0 couldnt get 15 going down hill in neutral. I find it hard to believe the 6.4 will be any better then the 6.0 the new toyota is being designed to get 20 plus in a 3/4 or 1 ton and have more power then the 6.4, we will see.

Just came back from a weekend camping trip, only 65 miles round trip, so I didn't figure it out by miles on the od v gallons pumped into the tank, but according to the computer, I got 9.1 MPG with mostly freeway miles at 60 MPH. CHP in San Diego likes to nail trailers going 62 on I-8 in East County.
Next weekend we are going on a 350 mile round trip to the Imperial Sand Dunes. I'll have to fillup twice on that trip, so I'll be able to tell you how it pulls going over the mountains from San Diego to the desert.
I hope it's not hot like this weekend. I don't have a generator yet.

I have a 2004 6.0, F-350 Dually, 4X4 Crew, 4:10 and when new got around 15 to 15.5 MPG mixed city fwy. I once broke 16+ with mostly fwy driving. After 40,000 + I get the same. Plus I'm using a Superchips 1805 programmed in "economy" and get the same MPG. If I get on the gas llot and a lot of city driving it can go as low as 14.5 MPG. I would hope the 6.4 would do better. I have personaly talked to a few 7.3 PSD guy's and they get anywhere from 16 to 18 MPG!

When I put 4.10's in my 03 6.0 I lost about 2mpg. So I saw about the same MPG as you with your 4.10s. I don't think that the 6.4 will meet the 6.0 for fuel mileage and certainly wont see the #'s that the 7.3 sees. Emissions have always effected fuel mileage and will continue to do so....
. ha! yeah right

doesn't have an overhead console! i didn't know they made them back in '97 
but uh yeah i hand calculated it, now this is assuming the speed-o is right, oh and this is before i put the 34's on, cause as of now the speed-o is probably off by like 2 mph at 60
