01 Excursion 7.3L (Suspected set up for Ambulance).

15 average.

Best 18mpg (flat freeway at 65mph).

7-9 Towing 25-ft Hauler (up to 10K lbs usually mtn driving).

Best towing 11 mpg (flat freeway at 55mph)

[Punisher660]

In my 02 Excursion, I average 18-21 highway driving 65mph-70mph using the cruise control.

When I tow our 30ft toy hauler loaded (around 10k lbs) I get 12 - 14 mpg.

I run stock size tires inflated to 60psi and have a SuperChip on the 1st (lowest) setting.

03 F-250 crew cab 7.3 stock

14.5mpg or so says the truck computer.

[whoowhoo]

99 F250 work truck with 191,000, 3.73 gears, auto trans, 235/85/16? gets 15 mpg everyday, on my sales route. Drops to 10 mpg with 13,000# fifth wheel.

Ford Excursion 15mpg 7.3l diesel no mods

[RiD3HaRD]

My buddy's 2000 f250 is getting about 18 around town.

[Ud_Luz]

2002 E350 extended cargo van, 20.3 average at 68 mph. 17.5 at 75 mph. As soon as the RPM crosses over 2k the mileage drops considerably.

[Punisher660]

After viewing some of the other numbers in this post, I decided to calculate by hand....it appears the computer is a little optimistic @ 21 mpg.....but even calculating by hand, I get 18-19mpg highway, and 12-13 when towing.

Some of you guys might want to check your air filters and tire preassure.

somewhat "older" data point: 96 F250 5-speed, 2wd
