If you know how many miles per gallon you average and you know how many gallons your truck holds...well....then you know how far you can (theoretically) drive on a tank of gas.

Greetings, I'm a first time poster and just recently purchased a 2003 F250 V10 CC 4WD. The tires are BFGoodrich 315's all terrain. At 60k miles, I average around 9mpg around town and sometimes see close to 11mpg on the highway. I assumed this was the standard mileage. I didn't buy for it's fuel economy, but it would be nice to see a little more. Is this about right?

Yes ----seems about right----- you probably have 3.73:1 rear gears and the taller tires make your cruise rpm a little low for best economy.... I think a 70~75 MPH cruise rpm around 2100~2250 is the best sweet spot.... I bet yours is closer to 1900~2000@ 70mph with those taller heavier tires
