Ok, I usually get about 10, maybe 11 on a good day. The other day while on the turnpike I reset the fuel computer and drafted an 18-wheeler to see what I would average. At about 70 mph, I got 16.4 for about 60 miles!! Now thats pretty good.  Thats with my 2000 V10 4wd limited. |

Replying to: jafo4 (Oct 11, 2007 9:53 am) During the first 120K miles I was driving about 40K per year and lots of highway miles  85 MPH. I would estimate a 15K miles towing TT with about 9MPG +/- During the last two years I have made and effort at highway speed around 73MPH of 21~2200 RPM Today the "X" has 212 K and 15.4 MPG in 6+ years |

Replying to: kpugh2 (Aug 06, 2007 1:46 pm)  I own a 2001 Limited 4X4 diesel with 126,000 on it. At 73 mph in the summer I get 16.7 - 17.3 on a good day. At 55mph I can get into the 20's. I loose 1-2 mpg in the winter or on a windy day. I pull a 26' travel trailer and get 9- 11 on a good day. Is this good fuel ecomomy? Please advise

| We just came home to Canton Ohio from Holden Beach North Carolina . I filled up there and drove 70mph all the way home and still had 1/8th tank left. I was very pleased with it. by the way it is a 7.3l Diesel (2003). | |

Replying to: kpugh2 (Aug 06, 2007 1:46 pm) 50 - 55 mph, anticipate brake, no heavy throttle, 23.6 mpg according to vehicle computer on 150 mile trip with new full tank of fuel. 60 - 65 mph, 22-22.6 mpg " " 75 mph 16.x mpg " " Around town: 16.x mpg " " Average tank city/highway: 18.4 mpg longest distance b/4 refill 900+ miles. I am very easy on the throttle, pass little when on the highway use cruise control on the flats (when not towing) and coast down long highway hills with throttle closed b/4 anticipating hill crests, etc. to maintain speed. At 67k miles my brake rotors are fine (despite towing 10K car trailer in season) and so is the rest of the truck, except (today) the CTS - (Cam timing sensor??)) which is what brought me to this site. PS - I think the computer lies, although I have seen 900 miles on open road trips, FL to NJ.

Replying to: jett1 (Sep 04, 2009 11:15 am) I sold the "X" with 218,000 miles and a lifetime average 15.38MPG or 218,183 miles and 14,178 gallons of fuel. This "X" was all AMSOIL from FRONT to REAR. the engine had the Series 3000 5W-30 oil and the trans had AMSOIL ATF. I had a F350 with 6.0 PSD in one year drove 23,127 miles and average 14.15 MPG again all AMSOIL In both case it included at least 10% towing miles Good luck |
