Not a fair comparison without knowing things like transmission used, axle ratios, and tire size.

Owner of 2008 F250, 4x4, 6.4L since March;
my gas mileage is consistently 12.6 mpg, after 3850 miles.
 
Towing a boat reduces to 9 mpg. Don't expect it to get any better than this. Very disappointed in mpg. That said, this thing is a hot rod w/ 350 hp. I still love the vehicle though.

Day-old F250 by danuary

Bought an 08 F250 PSD yesterday... Lariat, crew cab, 4x4. I love it so far, it's just a fantastic truck.
 
In the 100 or so miles I've driven so far, I've gotten about 13 mpg. Given some of the horror stories I've seen elsewhere I'm reasonably content with this -- granted, I've been driving fairly sedately while I get used to the size of this thing, but it's been a mix of city running errands and highway at 70mph.
 
I'm hoping that it only gets better from here as the truck breaks in, but I do intend to get a chip (programmer) with an 'economy' settings -- any recommendations?

Moding the Engine. by mschmal

If you mod this engine with some part produced by some fly by night company that spend probably about 2 weeks engineering the part, you wil BE OUT OF WARRANTY if the part causes damage to the engine.
 
Fords Official Position on this engine is NOT TO MOD IT. You should have signed a form at the dealer when you took delivery outlining your understand of this and other items regarding this engine.

Based on what I saw and signed, I don't think that's correct.
 
The form that I signed said that chipping or reprogramming the chip in place does NOT inherently void the warranty and that warranty services would be denied only in the case that whatever I was claiming service on failed -because- of the modification. Seems to be an entirely reasonable policy to me.
 
I've already done a substantial amount of research on the subject and feel as a (reasonably) intelligent guy that I can determine the difference between the folks putting significant engineering expertise into building programmers, and the folks that don't. I was merely asking what others use, if they use similar products, and what works for them.
