Quick Question, is it possible to make a 8 cylinder truck save enough gas or really close to a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder desiel.

If yes, how much would you think it would cost avg.. -

LOL... NO.

The best milage (true, hand cal'ed) milage put out of a 7.3 is 28mph... Thats on a 2wd, lowered, 3.53 geared truck... with a funny looking cover over the bed and a spoiler...

Anyone tell you there getting that, there FOS... -

well heck i only get about 15 in my 7.3 i think this is all just telling me i have a heavy foot -

Average is about 15-17... -

i get about 20 with the tuner i got, superchip 3 stage, 120 horse. -

Your not going off the overhead are you??? -

What do you guys think i can do or change or add on a F250 to make it go to 20mpg -

I got a new air filter and a programmer, im not sure how much the filter helped but im sure it help somewhat and with the Evolution on extreme i get 18 city and about 20 highway -

a chip helped my milage, but you can also get lower gears. -

People... Make sure when you are making milage claims you are not using the overhead... it is 100% worthless for this task.

Also, you must know how to proplerly hand calculate milage, if not your just throwing numbers out there.

I have been around and under these trucks for over 10 years now. A F-250, 350 standard cab 2wd will pull high teens low twentys under idea conditions...

A F-250 CC long box... sorry, not going to happen. mid to high teens is it. -

On mine...

2001 7.3 Crew Cab, Long wheel Base, 2 Wheel Drive, Dually with Manual trans, all stock 145K miles....doesn't smoke (shift points about 2000rpm)

I get 15-17 MPG empty and about 11 pulling a 10K lb Camper at 65 MPH. Thats hand calculated!!!.

the MPG do not really change wether I'm on the interstate at 70mph or driving around town...still about the same. -

No im not going by the overhead, just did some basic math. -

14 mpg on my OBS. 4x4 ex. cab LB. 4:10s -

i would be very suprised if an EX could get 20mpg -
