#233 of 355 CREW F350 6.4 4x4 by petersrc Jul 15, 2008 (2:30 pm)
Some of you, who are getting upwards of 10 MPG -------- consider yourselves LUCKY! I'm currently RV'g throughout Washington, Idaho, British Columbia. While our Lariat is a great truck in most respects, it's a PIG when it comes to economy ---------- averaging less than 8MPG with a 10,000lb 5th, while trying to do everything to "go easy" on fuel economy. 80PSI in tires, easy starts, 55MPH, TowHaul on where needed, etc. My brother (after 9 new F350 Diesels in the past 10 years) is trying Dodge's "equivalent" with the 6.7 Cummins. He consistently gets 40>50% better economy on the same trip. BUMMER! RUDY

I'm looking into getting an 08 F-250, but I'm not sure what Engine-Transmission-Rear Axle Ratio to get: 5.4L V-8 Gas-5 speed Auto Transmission-3.73/4.10, 6.8L V-10 Gas-5 speed Auto Transmission-4.10/4.30, 6.4L V-8 Diesel-5 speed Auto Transmission-3.55/3.73. What will give me better MPGs?
#235 of 355 transmission? by contractnow Jul 17, 2008 (1:37 pm)
You need to decided what your hauling then decide on trans. my '08 250 gets 15-16 mpg it's a 373 rear. and I haul nothing. If your huling heavy stuff you need the appropriate rear. Diesel will give you the best mpg but reg. gas is cheaper. So you'll have to do the math and decide, Sorry, but good luck! I love my truck other than the diesel price.

Replying to: diehardford (May 19, 2008 4:29 pm) Lucky you. I just got through with a 2600 mile round trip with my '08 F350. With only 16K miles on it, it broke down in Pilot Point Texas. Fuel injector stuck open, push rod bent and booster sensor blown - 3 days later and only 8mpg pulling a very light load. I drove 70mph trying to improve mile but no use - The 350 super duty is a dog with no power and crappy gas milage Replies to this message: diehardford (Oct 06, 2008 6:55 pm) 2scoobys (Jan 09, 2009 7:39 am)

Replying to: rcuellar26 (Oct 05, 2008 7:56 am) I hate that you are having problems with your 350. My 250 continues to give me great service. I took it to the dealer saturday for its 30000 mile service and then the wife and I headed up the blue ridge parkway toward mt mitchell to see the fall colors. 290 mile trip averaged 15.5 mpg. Back in august we took the camper down to the outer banks. If I held it down between 60 and 65 I got about 10 mpg. However on one stretch lets say I was in a hurry to get the beach. Averaging about 80 to 85 mph mileage dropped to about 7mpg. Camper weighs about 9000 lbs empty is 35 feet long and 11 1/2 feet high. I easley had another 2000 lbs in cargo and passengers. At 85 mph truck had power to spare. Needless to say I'm still very happy with mine. I still average around 14 mpg in my day to day driving. I hope you can get the problems with your truck resolved. You might try to have the dealer re flash the main computer. It controls the fuel and air ratios and that has a lot to do with power and mileage. Good Luck Replies to this message: 2scoobys (Jan 09, 2009 7:39 am)
#240 of 355 Removing the Dpf...? by pipfindr Oct 13, 2008 (1:10 pm)
Has anyone tried removing the Dpf, Cat, exhaust and egrs yet? I have heard it is possible with the help of by-pass modules. just want to know what the results were. yes i know the warranty would be gone.
#241 of 355 Fuel mileage by rga520c Oct 25, 2008 (7:14 am)
I have a 2008 6.4 ltr.F-250 super duty with about 3000 miles on the trk, and at best I am getting around 10-12 avg. MPG is this what I should expect to be the normal for this or will it get better and what could I possibly do to improve the mpg short of getting rid of the truck. I absolutely love the trk other than this.   Very concerned F-250 owner Replies to this message: scarab36 (Oct 25, 2008 8:00 am) diehardford (Oct 27, 2008 7:55 pm)

Replying to: rga520c (Oct 25, 2008 7:14 am) I have an 08 f350 crew 4wd, srw. Bought new mileage sucked like yours. It's been getting better the longer I have the truck. now at 36,000 I'm getting 16-17 freeway empty at 70mph 10-11 towing a trailer weighing approx 8,000. around town 12-15 love the truck but have used a lot of fuel to get to where I am now
