F250 Diesel Owners - What's your gas milage?

You will get 6000 different answers because there are that many different uses and configurations.

1. What are you towing?
2. What gears do you want?
3. What type of terrain?
4. How heavy is your foot?
5. And one last thing, Diesels don't use gas!

They don't get better gas mileage. They don't use gas.

Randy - my 2004 F350 PS crew cab, short bed, 4WD (stock 265/75R16 Pirelli tires) is getting an average of 17 to 18 - combination road and town. I have a light foot though. This is without towing anything and with only

3000 miles on the engine. At 5000 miles, it is going to get Mobil Delvac 1 synthetic in it - I'm hoping to push it to at least 20 mpg.

If the MPG is the most important, then get a 4x2, stick, SRW, Regular cab. After that, anything will reduce your mileage.

A friend has a 5 or 6 year old 2wd diesel F350, he sais his mileage went from 17 to 20 after installing a K&N cloth type air filter.

Yikes. I had a K&N on my Jeep and tossed it when I notices a film of dust in the intake tube after the filter. Yes, it was maintained properly. And knowing how finicky diesels and their turbos are with dust, seems like he might be needing a rebuild much sooner than is necessary all for the sake of

3mpg savings, which I am skeptical about anyway.

My F250 2WD gets 19 when driven hard. I can't drive it "easy" I suspect it would get 20 then. Towing my 12,000# 5th wheel, it gets about 9 or 10. at 65 MPH.

YMMV

I have a 99 F-250, diesel, crew cab, 4WD. I get about 16 around town. If I am towing (28 ft horse trailer) and running at about 70-80 MPH, I get about

1. The rear end makes a lot of difference in the mileage as well as your right foot! Susan Ravan

What kind of mileage do you get when you exceed the 10 MPH you stated?

there should be a big jump in mileage from 10 mph to highway speeds
