I have an '11 6.2L and got 16.2 (I verified at pump and computer said same) driving from Minneapolis to Two Harbors, MN and back over the weekend - had the cruise set at 72mph when I was on the freeway - weather was clear and little to no wind and the tailgate was up. I drove 341 miles round trip. Other than that, I have been getting about 14.9 combined in the Twin Cities.

I have only 900 miles on mine, but thus far, according to the lie-o-meter, I average 14-15mpg driving like an idiot, and 10mpg towing an 18' trailer with 3500lb on it. This is through hills and all rural, no real highway. I am impressed so far. I have gotten as good as 19 mpg rural driving for about 50 miles but I was trying to drive with fuel economy in mind, easy starts, slowing down early, etc.

1200 miles on 6.2 SC 4X4 4.30 gears,empty no cap or tonneu, 600 mile trip averaging 75 mph (GPS says 73) fuel milage on truck says 13.3, calculator says 13.2. A lot of fuel is wasted when using the cruise to adjust speed in traffic due to the tranny jumping gears every time you bump up or down or coast. Seems like a defect because it doesn't need to jump every time you adjust due to the abundence of HP and torque.

Man am I having issues! I am at about 500 miles and have not been able to break 9.7 mpg average based on the readout? This is 90% in town, with mellow driving (kids in the truck most of the time)... I also noticed when going through speed traps that display your speed my speedo reads about 4mph faster? I wonder if my poor mileage is related to my transmission problems? It is a 4wd Crew Cab with a 4.30 rear gear... Anyone else seeing numbers like this?

I just picked up my 2011 F250 4x4 crew cab short bed yesterday afternoon and have less than 100 miles on it, and it is showing 13.3 mpg. The dealer has been telling me I can expect 15(+/-). I traded off an 06 F350 4x4 crew cab long bed with a 6.0 and was getting 16-16.5 on the highway.
From what I am reading here, 15 mpg is a pipe dream.
