LOL if they got 25 they must have been going 55 and I doubt it then. My 6.4 gets anywhere between 12-20 depending on how i am driveing and what im pulling. Its moded when it was stock about it got about 8-16

Ya 7.3s can get maybe 22 but from what I understand not often. Maybe driving 55/60 down the interstate all day. I don't do my mileage I don't want to know what I get

I've heard 12v cummins can get pretty good mileage even modded just have to keep ur foot outta it oh and I do believe zf-6 in with 7.3s get better mileage.

My '88 7.3 idi gets 15 regardless of how I drive. It'll go back to getting over $20 when I fix the leaky injector.
