I'm getting 11.8 with mixed city/short-range highway driving, but I've been know to get around 13 on the highway (with a heavy foot). I once saw my computer hit 14.0 on a 75-100 mile trip with the cruise control set at 75-80 most of the way; it stayed at 14.0 for about a minute and a half.

2002 F-250 4x4 (mileage above on 2WD) 5.4 V-8 SC LB 3.73

Thanks in advance for your response
Do a search on the topic, it has been beat to death. If you want mileage get a Toyota, if you want a TRUCK get a SD. The mileage sucks, but the truck is the best! With a BIG, HEAVY, TOWING machine you are not going to get mileage, just forget about it and enjoy your truck.

I just have to say that w/ my '99 PSD, 35" tires, 4x4 ... that I get 15mpg on my worst day and commonly creep up to 17-18 mpg. When you buy a towing rig I believe that you should spring for the Deisel. You will get your investment back and then some on resale anyways.

On my old 2000 PSD, I never hit the 15 mpg mark (unless I was going down hill with the wind at my back), more like 11-13 city/hwy combo about what I get now with my current V-10.
