Re: any fuel economy data on the 6.4?
6L,
You can search a history on my posts about fuel mileage, but I'll sum it up for you. My truck brand new would get around 15.5-16.5 MPG on an average day, i.e. mostly less than 2K RPMs, with the occaisional >2K bursts. And yes, I do drive in the city, but to make a long trip on the highway doesn't change the mileage drastically (maybe 1 MPG, if I'm lucky). Now I'm making 13-14 MPG doing the same drive with the same driving habits. And this is with 60,000+ on the odo. I for one have never seen the mileage of the 7.3L guys, and there are others...just search this forum. Some guys have claimed 25+ (I call bluff), but most say that they are in the 16-19 range. I haven't been documenting all of this, but if you'd care to trade trucks, that would be better than posting numbers, as you'd see for yourself. I hesitated from buying a 7.3 b/c Ford's advertisement said that the 6.0 was to have more power, get better mileage, and run quieter. I love my 6.0, but sometimes I wish that I had got the 7.3, as it has proven itself in my book.
Later,
