challenged three ps owners to the test
cold start showdown
95 f250
97 f350
99 f350
against my 91 f350 with a 3.9 and no heat grids
no takers on that one
btw that was in florida
ran across two guys trying to sweet talk a ps with either (not)
told them i had just what they needed to get it running but i didn't have it with me
it was at the shop
they wanted to know what it was
and i told them a cummins motor!!!!!!!!

I get about 18 mpg, on average, on mine. All city with about 1/4 freeway driving. Although, most times the freeway traffic is crawling at 2-45 mph on the way back home. The sticker under the hood says I have 3.5 drive ratio.
11 mpg in the city does sound low, though. Unless you're heavy on the accelerator and braking.

It could be your driving style; or a difference in gear ratios?
