I think if you looked through some of the past posts on here you would find quite a few that talked about fuel mileage for all engine types and driving styles...look under Ford 2001 Heavy Duty F250, among others.
On my 2001 F350 Crew Cab 4x4 V10 w/3.73 I average 15.5 MPG unloaded. All of my driving is rural driving.

Towing ~7900 lbs, w/ ~2500 lbs of passengers, cargo, fuel etc. ~9 mpg on flat highway, mountains ~7.5 mpg. Mileage seems to be getting a little better since I've got over 13K on rig now. Have pesky problem of gas pump clicking off mulitple times before tank is truly full.
The best so far is still 14 MPG @ a steady 75 from L.A. to Vegas.
Like any vehicle, I suppose, the difference when driving conservative vs. hauling [non-permissible content removed] was significant. On the trip to LA from Vegas going 80+ and passing everything I got 10 MPG. So the ???? is: is the 40 minutes longer it took worth the $10 in gas diff????
put on 240 city miles on it the first week & put in 18 gallons of fuel. That turns out to be 13 mpg . Not to bad..... I have a 99' dodge ram 4x4 regular cab 5.9 lt, it gets 12/city & 15/hwy
My new ford is so much nicer than the ram.
Considering the BIG truck and 4x4 I am satisfied with the mpg I am getting.
PULLED A TRAILER & THREE FOURWHEELERS THIS WEEKEND & WAS IN A HURRY TO GET HOME. I WAS GOING 75-80 AND GOT ABOUT 12 MPG. GAS BY ME IS ONLY ABOUT A $1.03 A GALLON, SO I AM NOT COMPLAINING.....LOL
NORMAL CITY DRIVING 12-13 MPG
MY 99' RAM REG CAB 4X4 WITH 5.9 GETS WORST GAS MILEAGE
We have also decided to sell our new house in order to Purchase a smaller house and have a good deposit on the truck and camper,Ya i know sounds crazy but Sep.11 changed our way of thinking.... live for today!!!Thanks again...Sincerely ENGINE12
I have a question for you, or anyone with some knowledge on the subject. Should I add lubricating oil to winter blend fuel, or is that a waste of money?
Here's hoping your mileage improves. Other than that, hope you like the new rig.
As for the camper, what did you get??
By the way Mullins87, You should get a weight distributing hitch and a sway control. You may not need it but you will love having it, particularly when passing fast moving semi trucks. Just my $.02
Can you fit the Geo in the long bed? :-)
I JUST CHECKED MY MPG, 11 CITY !!!! NOT VERY GOOD YET. I,M HOPING TO IMPROVE TO ATLEAST 13 IN CITY.
MY BUDDY PUT ON A K&N FILTER AND GAINED 1 MPG, SOMETHING TO LOOK INTO.
I HAVE BEEN GOING OVERBOARD ON ACCESSORIES...LOL

I currently have 4000 miles on it .
My MPG are 12/city & 14/ highway.
My question is , will my MPG's improve or is this normal ?
I knew that it would'nt get great gas mileage, but I just want to compare with others.

Maybe this has helped some of you if you are thinking of buying some upgrades for your PSD. It also lets me bragg alittle on my truck.
