z06 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Currently have a 2008 F350 CC 172" with V10. Gets 12.to13 MPG at 70 empty. Anyone have one with the 6.2? MPG at HWY speeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ksilverbullet Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Getting a little better than that with my F-350 CC LB, 6.2 w/ 4.30 gears on the highway (around 14). Around town I'm hard on the pedal, getting about 10.5 worst case scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest liquidleaf Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Probably not the same issue as we had, but our '01 v10 (Excursion) used to get 15 on the highway and started dropping over the winter until it wasn't getting much above 11. Wound up being two ignition packs that had intermittent misses after warming up. Doesn't miss enough to trigger any kind of warning light, but wreaked havoc on gas milelage. Replaced those two and it's back up to 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2fifty Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Sorry for the late post, I'm seeing around 11 mpg average around town. I've got a lead foot so on the HWY I try and use cruise as much as possible. When I do I see as much as 15+ mpg @ 65- 70. I'm loving this truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainehd Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Very interested to see as well for my new truck. I currently have a 6.4L 450CC with 4:30's and my new 350CC will have the same gearing, but with the new gas motor. I'm hoping for close as the diesel has never been very impressive.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. My truck has 21,000 miles on it. I am taking a trip from Austin Texas to Phoenix Az so I will be able to give even better mileage.

thefatcobra Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Went on my first road trip, approx. 600km one way and managed to get up to 17.5 mpg. Not as good as my old half ton but it is twice the truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefatcobra Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I have now reached the 5000 mile mark with my truck and have been averaging 14.5mpg for city driving and last road trip I went on the computer was reading 19.1mpg by the time I reached my destination. Best mpg I have seen was 23mpg with a wicked tail wind,only saw 12.5mpg on that return trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itherrkr Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I have 11,000 miles on my 2011 F350 with 3.73. I get 15 mpg consistently, mixed driving. We won't talk about mpg, with my 10,000 lb Toy Hauler bumber pull trailer. 7.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefatcobra Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Averaged 19.2mpg at 65mph and 16.4mpg at 75mph on return trip of 120 mile each way, mpg's are improving a little! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postman24 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Depends on winter or summer driving. Getting 18+ mpg on freeway with no towing, 16 to 17 mpg on country roads with a bit of town, 12 to 14 mpg with short town and country trips. This mileage does decrease some with cold weather. Towing the 30' camper, it averages around 10 mpg, towing a smaller trailer with snowmobiles or atvs, it gets 11 to 12+ mpg. Have over 11000 miles on the truck, it's a 2011 F250 XLT with the FX4 package and extended cab. Love this engine and truck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallardmarshal Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Ordered my F250. Hoping to get 15-17 average out of a gas crew cab FX4 3.73 rear. What are your thoughts? Edited December 16, 2012 by Mallardmarshal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldwizard Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Ordered my F250. Hoping to get 15-17 average out of a gas crew cab FX4 3.73 rear. What are your thoughts? Several things already mentioned will affect your fuel economy: Percentage of highway versus city miles Ambient temperature Driving style Load Assuming about 60% highway, temps above 60, light foot, no load, 15-17 should be achievable on a 4x2. 4x4 will cost you about 2 mpg on the highway and 3 mpg in the city.

What are your thoughts? those numbers are very achievable with a light foot although the 6.2 sounds great under heavy throttle. I didn't get very good numbers when it was new but now have 20k kilometers(approx. 12k miles) now and it has improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
