Only 2,700 miles on her so far, but made a trip to my mom's this last weekend; all highway, cruise locked on 74, 19.2 MPGs!!!

That's really good. What were your RPM's at 74? Possibly keeping the cruise at 70 and/or not over 2000 RPM's will probably push that over 20. Of course, as the engine gets "broken in" more, the numbers will also improve.

Fuel economy need improvement

Guys;
My 2011 SD is a work truck and the fuel economy is not good at all. My truck has a Leer camper shell and a Bedslide loaded with 1500-1800 lbs of tools. My truck is getting around 12-12.5 MPG. I've checked it on the road, off road and the average is still low. I now have over 16,000 miles on the truck. Any suggestions other than lessen the load?

It takes a long time to get these engines broken inn. More than you have, something like 20,000 + miles. It will get better over time. You won't see 30 mpg, ever.

X2!!

Now if Ford would put a diesel in a 150, you might see 30 mpg. Some people are getting 25+ mpg with the EcoBoost V-6, so it could be possible, if they'd "wise up" and build it.

I just got a 2011 super duty and the computer quit resetting the instant mileage. Just comes back as reset cancelled. Anyone else having this problem???

Sounds like a FOMOCO Dealer fix.... ? A NEW, PSD shouldn't do that ?

Are you holding the button down until it resets? If you don't hold it down long enough it say "reset canceled".

I just drove 454 miles from southern Indiana to Milwaukee, WI and averaged 21.3 mpg on my 6.7 liter F250. I could only be happier if LSD was $2 a gallon.

How fast were you going?
