Diesel MPG

[martinoledad]

Has anybody calculated how much MPG the new 6.7L's get... I was looking at some today and they didnt say on the sticker.

I have heard that they get up to 26-27, but that is just what I heard, no actual facts to support it :)

thats still alot better than the 19-20 im getting right now... which i would amagine that is on the highway your talking about right?

[ticopowell]

yeah I think so... but they cost quite a bit haha... how many years would it take to save $5000 in gas by getting 25 mpg? :smiley_roll1::hehe:

I have a fleet model F-350 at work. The thing never shuts of in a 10 hour work day. The computer on the dash tells me it is about 7.5 mpg. And my brother just bought one. He claims around 17 mpg on #1 winter diesel. We are in MT and ND and drive around 80 mph on the interstate. I suppose some one who drives around 65 might get around 20 mpg. I have never seen better than 18 on my 06 6.0L.
I had to check out this area of the forum, as I am look at a knew one myself.

Well my Preacher from back home got a New 2011 F-250 superduty diesel. He let me test drive it today and that thing will haul :censored1:. I wanted one before and today didnt help me. Of course Im no where close to being able to afford one:cry-blow:.

What kind of things can you do to help the MPG on a diesel besides a tuner.
