6.4 Sucks Fuel!!!!!!
One of our contractors stopped in tonight to BS. He has an 08 550 Reg Cab 4x4 Automatic with 12,000 miles on it and while it has been problem free it averages 6.8 MPG mixed driving and 8.5 on the highway!!! It weighs right at 12,000# They have 3 other 6.4's getting similiar mileage while the old 7.3's in the fleet get almost double! My 99 Peterbuilt Dumptruck does 6.5 mpg in mixed driving with a 500HP Red Top Cummins in it at 54,000#!!! My 92 Shop Truck with a 460 GASSER does better than that pig at almost 12 in town and 14 highway!! Is there ANY help for mileage in these trucks????
