Re: 6.0 FUEL MILEAGE
My '04 6.0 is so far since I've been keeping written track of fuel mileage getting 16.6 mpg hand calculated for 11 tanks since Jan 1, 2005, with a low of 14.6 and a high of 18.6. The truck currently has about 20,700 miles on it. My '02 7.3 set up similar to the '04 was getting 20 mpg on just about every tank except when towing our horse trailer (10K-12K). The 6.0 is getting 16-17 on the same trip back and forth to work, 50 miles round trip, mostly travelling 55-65 mph with only about 5-10 miles I would consider town/city.
The new 6.0 can hold it's own, but overall doesn't get as good of mileage, but it has been improving with age and I think that is the key. The 7.3 had 43K on it when I traded (didn't like to keep oil inside [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]). These things take time to break in, but I think a truck getting 10-12 does have issues. Mine has been a 16 mpg truck since day one unless I'm on the highway then it'll get 18-20, running 65-75 mph.
