Here's some fuel economy data on the '19 compared to the '20 F250 Super Duty. Also I added the Ram 2500 fuel economy comparison for good measure.
Also maybe JohnDeereFarmer will chime in. He reported his new 2020 6.7PSD is making 1.5-2 mpg better than his previous 6.7PSD which is pretty much in line that many are reporting.
I would not count on those being realistic until around 50 people or so reporting in for a year or 500k miles tracked. They will fluctuate wildly up or down until then. At least that is my experience with the side and the five new vehicles I have tracked on there. The first several months were no where near what I and everyone else on the forums where getting until there were around 50 people or 500k miles tracked.
I agree more data points becomes more statistically significant but the trends continue and the data points are pointing that the new Power Strokes make better fuel economy compared to the second gen motors and even the latest cummins engine (Remember me posting about early fuel economy reports from early last year!).
Speaking of last year you were going to put a reminder on your calendar to review diesel prices in that you were predicting prices were going to go up with the Ship industry going to Ultra Low Sulphur diesel. I predicted no change. Now excluding the current mess, earlier this year diesel fuel prices showed.... Well you know!
When I first got my 2014 in October 14, its stated that the Ram got low 13s for a good 6 months to a year which I was getting between 15 and 15.5 on stock tires. It was n't until around 50 trucks were being recording until it jumped up to its average of 15.5 which is more accurate. When I got my old 335d, it stated that everyone was getting about 2 mpg more than I was getting with only about 10 vehicles being tracked and as with my Ram it began to settle down to realistic numbers with more vehicles being tracked. Same thing with my current 328d. This is why I take these numbers with a grain of salt until there are more vehicles being tracked or more miles on them.
In regards to diesel fuel prices. I said they will go up if we continue to use the same amount of fuel from shipping. However, due to the tariff war between the US and China, shipping reduced dramatically in 2019 and continue to decrease with the coronavirus.
