07 6.0 Mileage
In my quest to figure out if I should be a new 07, I thought I would inquire as to what kind of mileage people were seeing with there 07 6.0's. My current 04 crew cab, short bed, srw 4x4, with a 4" lift, 35's, 3.73 gears and turbo back exhaust system is getting about 14.5 mpg on the interstate and probably about 13 around town.
A guy I work with claims his 05 with exact same set up plus a tuner is getting about 18 sometimes 19 on the interstate. Just wondering if the mileage somehow got better with the later model 6.0's.

On my '07 if I get over 15 MPG I'm happy, because that's good for a 7500 pound vehicle with the aerodynamics of a brick.
If I get less than 15 MPG I'm happy because it means I was hauling the camper around and that makes me happy.
My overall average MPG is over 15 MPG since I bought it in December. I'm always happy with my truck, it seems.

Had new buzz after shutdown flash at beginning of Feb prior to trip to Iowa. Driving 70 MPH up I-35 to Bethany, MO (563 mi.) my hand calculated MPG was 14.91 vs displayed 15.6. I fill to the brim everytime. I also switched to Synthetic Rotella prior to this trip.
My 06 gets worse economy than my 04; same size and brand tires; basically the same truck. Son-in-law traded an 04 for 06 at same time and he is getting 12’s for fuel economy; dealer could find nothing wrong.
