Fuel Mileage

Bought my truck and was getting 13.5 mpg stock. Since then have done 4" mbrp turbo back with bye bye kitty and a superchips tuner in different modes including mileage xs and only can get 12.5. It is an 05 250 with 65k bought it with 62k in Jan.

I get around 12.5 up to over 20 MPG US in my 2004 6 spd.

for me it depends on loads, in the mountains or flat terrain and how hard I jam the pedal.

My only mods are running boards (make truck run fast?)

I'm getting 15.3 with my 6.0. It's an 03 F250 King Ranch Crew, SRW with the short box running 3.73s.

When I bought the truck in Feb 07 I was getting 14.8 mpg and the truck had 34K miles on it. This is my daily driver...about 7 miles to work and back 5 days a week on secondary roads so I have to take it easy. On the weekends, I usually average at least one trip where I'm on the highway for an hour minimum...sometimes it's 3 or 4 hours. On those trips...it's 70 to 75 mph.

The truck now has 87K miles on it. The truck is bone stock except the c-bedder mirrors and will probably stay that way.

You might notice a drop in mpg if your right foot got heavier to enjoy the straight exhaust sound. Also is your mileage highway or city? That's about right for city milage. You're probably better off with a SCT X2 or X3 with custom tunes vs. the superchips. There are soo many factors that can effect fuel mileage (tire size, tire psi, road conditions, hills, traffic, fuel quality, how much cargo you have in the bed and in the cab, etc.) that you can't really compare to anyone on the internet. Compare to other people in your area with the same truck and mods.
