Re: What's your POWERSTROKE mpg?
We own over 30 units with the Power Stroke enigne, both 7.3L (from '94 to '03) and the new 6.0L.
The 7.3L engines typically get 14-16 MPG in city pick-up and delivery, light to medium loads, but stop and go driving (and they are in a HURRY). The 6.0s are about 1-2 MPG less, but offer WAY more power.
Now, our shop's service van weighs in around 13,000#, yup you read that right. It gets 12.5 MPG average for the year, and it does a LOT of ideling especially in the winter. Most of it's trips are under 5 miles as well.
Our salesman has a 2002 F-350 4X4 Crew cab w/ class V trailer tow package (gearing), he gets CONSISTANTLY 17-18 MPG empty, and 13-14 towing his race trailer filled with car and gear.
A co-worker has a 6.0L, he gets 14-15 empty, and 11-12 towing a 33' gooseneck loaded or empty. But, it GOES LIKE STINK.
