Really the only thing you can do that might help with that.. is find a different transmission and diffs... That might help with your milage a little bit... but as it's an f250... Superduty I assume... 130L tank or so.. You are seeing what.. an average of 500kms to a tank if you run with a load.. oor.. I've seen my moms get 850or so.. to a tank.. but that's driving it nice...

You could always learn to keep your foot out of the pedal too.. Could help..

Whens the last time you had a tune up done on it? Cleaned injectors and all that junk?

What engine? I assume a C-6 3 speed auto transmission. What differential gear ratio? Any performance modifications? Tire size? Lifted or not? More information will let folks make suggestions.
