27 mpg Highway?????????
Just finished looking at some 2011's and to shock the salesperson said Ford was expecting 27mpg Highway for the new 250. I cant believe it. What does the 2010 250 deisel produce for HWY mpg?

real world I doubt it will break 20, but it might. I think you will seen mid to high teens more commonly.
Once people really start driving it (not the test dummies) then we will really know the deal.

If it does have this type of fuel economy, what is it going to cost in the way of Vehicle service.

Watch the 3 videos in this thread, especially the fuel mileage video.

The SD got about 21 MPG in the competitive test, mixed driving, with a payload.

Rule number one, don't believe anything the salesman tells you.
When the 6.4l came out magazines were testing the 6.4l and getting almost 17mpg. The guys in the real world who have 6.4l never saw anywhere close to that. I'll wait to see what actual owners have to say after they put some miles on their trucks.

I also know that a properly tuned 6.4L can easily break 20 MPG. Many running the Spartan package have been getting over 20 for some time now. So I believe 20 is achievable with the new engine considering the need for less efficiency robbing EGR with the new SCR aftertreatment system.

I don't see 27, but can see the 20-22 that are on the videos. Real world I think you will see high teens low twenties, depending on how people drive. Remember, the ones driving in the video have been trained to drive those trucks and know all the tricks. best way to get the most MPG out of your SD, go to Youtube and search for gas saving driving tips. I am sure there are a TON of videos there on the subject.
