I’ve been considering getting a Ford truck with the 6.7L diesel engine, but I’m really curious about what kind of fuel mileage I can expect in real-world conditions.

Factors to Consider

  • Driving Conditions: How does fuel economy differ between highway driving and city commuting?
  • Towing Capacity: If you tow heavy loads, what impact does that have on fuel mileage?
  • Modifications: For those who have done any emissions deletes or other tweaks, how has that affected your mileage?
  • Personal Experiences: What’s the average you’re seeing? Any tips for optimizing fuel efficiency?

Real-World Insights

It would be great to hear from current owners. What’s your experience been like? Any surprising aspects of fuel economy you didn’t expect? Looking forward to gathering some insights before I make a decision!

Thanks for any input!

I’ve been getting about 15-17 MPG with my Ford 6.7. I found that keeping my speed around 60 mph really helps improve fuel efficiency. What are your driving habits like?

That’s great advice! I usually drive a bit faster, around 70 mph, and I average about 14 MPG. I need to try slowing down.

It’s all about throttle control! Gradual acceleration makes a big difference. I noticed my mileage improved when I stopped gunning it from stoplights.

For sure! I’ve also been watching my tire pressure closely, and that has helped too. Keeping them at the recommended PSI is key.

I try to maintain a steady speed as much as possible. Using cruise control on the highway has really helped me stay economical with fuel.

Absolutely, cruise control is a game changer! I’ve actually seen my MPG go up significantly when I use it.

On average, I’m around 16 MPG but I think managing my speed has a lot to do with it. I also limit heavy loads when I can.

Good point! I tend to overload my truck sometimes, and I can definitely tell the difference in mileage.

Has anyone tried changing their driving style completely? I went from aggressive to relaxed driving and noticed at least a 2 MPG boost.

What about the type of fuel? I usually use premium and wonder if it’s worth the expense for better mileage.

I’ve heard mixed things about premium fuel. Some say it helps, others think it’s a waste. I stick with regular and try to optimize my driving first.

Don’t forget about regular maintenance! A clean air filter and fresh oil can help your engine run more efficiently too.

Good reminder! I should do a maintenance check. A well-maintained truck can save a lot in the long run.

I usually keep my windows closed while driving at higher speeds. It seems to help with aerodynamics and increases my MPG a bit.

Interesting tactic! I had a friend who swore by that, but I often drive with the windows down to enjoy the breeze.

Why did the truck driver cross the road? To save gas on the other side! But seriously, managing my speed has cut costs significantly.

In my experience, air filter replacements are crucial too. I replace mine every 10,000 miles, and it keeps my fuel efficiency at about 15 MPG.
