There is a reason why they don't post MPG on the window sticker .
Don't buy a 6.0 and think you will get great mileage because it won't happen no matter what that friend of a friend got with his.

Oh, leave the Edge in the '97! If you want tunes give Matt a call at Spartan, one of the site sponsors. Happy 6.0L hunting!

I was getting around 17.5 on a stock 05 f250 King Ranch but then I had the HPOP problem fixed and right after the fix was getting 16.6. I looked under the hood and the dealer forgot to plug in my air sensor on the intake tube so I plugged it in but now I'm only getting 15.5. Driving habits the same...what happened to my MPG?

i just popped all of my mileage into excel last night to do some comparisons, and over 21K+ i averaged 17.1 with around 80% hwy, 15% city, and 5% towing 6K to 10K. average hwy was 18.1, keeping speeds at 68 or less.
