Gas VS Diesel F250

I am looking at new F250, I have f wheel about 8000lbs. I would like to know gas mileage while towing and not towing, also on diesel. How would gas handle the load?

Thanks

  • My F250 Super Duty V10 , 6.8 ltr gas averages 8 to 8.5 when pull and 12 around town. I can get up to 15 on the interstate at a steady 60 mph will not pulling.
  • The diesel will get better fuel economy. The place that they really outshine gassers is in the hills. If you plan on keeping away from hills, the gasser will probably do. If you like getting away to hill country, go for the diesel.
