It scoots this truck around like nothing and I have been getting in the mid to high 15's pretty reliably on the highway and it is dropping to about mid to high 12's when I mix up city driving. Not too shabby. It gets as good a mileage as most of our newer Ford diesels. Now pulling a heavy load is a whole different story. The diesels win hands down. The pre-emissions diesels that is....
