Mileage question
How many MPG can I expect from a 1997 F-250 2WD extra cab with a 5.8L with A/C. Just looking for a estimate from someone who has or had one. Thanks for any info.

It will probably average about 12 but could get anywhere from 10-14.

With OD and 3.55 gears it could potentially do 14-15mpg highway at around 70mph, but expect 12-13 city.
