First Tank of Fuel
I picked up my 08 F350 PSD on 12/5. I hit the road last weekend for a trip from Pgh., Pa. to Wilmington, DE to visit my son. On the Pa. Turnpike I averaged 18.6 mpg on the way out. On the way back I averaged 17.4 (its up hill heading west). I set the cruise at 64 and kept the rpm around 1750 and boost at 100 psi as much as possible. I was very pleased with the mpg and performance of the truck. I like to travel at a speed that keeps me alone on the highway. That is usually 5mph or so less than what everyone else is doing. No traffic to deal with.
