Re: [VAL] Re: Gas Mileage
Running at 70 on the freeway/highway and more or less posted speed around
town, I get the following with my 2000 F-250 diesel. This is all with
automatic overdrive, and does include mountain mileage while towing. I
notice that prevailing wind can have as much effect as terrain on the
mileage.
Bobtail around town - 18 mpg
Bobtail on highway - 22 - 24 mpg
Towing trailer on highway - 15 - 16 mpg
I am towing a 22' Streamline, probably around 5000 lbs. My mpg went up 3-4
mpg when I had a BD chip installed.
