Strong head wind can make a huge difference. Typical drive over flat to rolling country with little wind at 70 mph my 2012 F350 6.7 would avg about 11. A little head wind would drop to 10. A lot of headwind down to about 9.
Wind makes a huge difference. When we had our old 7.3 F250 pulling 9k lb 5er. We had ranges from 7mpg to 16mpg
- 7mpg was into a 30mph headwind.
- 16mpg was with a 30mph tailwind.
Both were short days where we called it early.
Long term average with that truck was just shy of 13mpg.
