Gas Mileage?

[powerstroke0809]

I am about to buy a 2006 350 Powerstroke lariat not a duley. Before I buy it i was wondering what can of gas mileage do they get on average bone stock. oh the truck has 28000 miles. I would appreciate it.

they dont get worth a sh!t mabe 10 or 15 FEET if you run on gas

if u keep ypur foot out of it u should get about 20 mpg

never touched 20...highest on a 1200 mile road trip was 18...but average around the city is a crappy 12-13...dont buy a 6.0L for the fuel economy thats for sure

buy a yaris for econco.

buy it, mod it, and then try to go light on the go pedal, and you might see 20 mpg. also i recomend diesel kleen for health of engine and fuel economy

On my 2006 250 crew cab 4x4 all I can get is 12 to 15 on it people tell me once it breaks in it will get better well 60000 miles and no better.

I am averaging about 16.5 after 26,500 miles.

I average about 18 to and from work - mostly highway and few stops.

If I get a big wind pushing me, I will be in the 20's.

If I get a big wind in front of me, I will be in the 14 range.


All numbers are hand calculated.

Areas that helped me:
#1 - (NO DOUBT) - driving style, habits
#2 - MINIMIZE IDLING (I still do SOME on VERY cold mornings and days)
#3 - tire pressure
#4 - fuel additives and synthetic oil (MY OPINION HERE, many feel differently)
#5 - I got the most recent flash - I LOVE it!
#6 - I was recently talked into a power elbow for a 0.2 mpg improvement.

We are now at a fuel cost that makes these little gains economical (ie a 1 year payout or so).

Also, check into the winter / summer fuel supply. Know what you are getting.

*Ehem* That'd be fuel mileage bud.

and just to throw it out there, not a dually, is SRW for short (Single Rear Wheels)
