Hard to justify a diesel with those mpg numbers. I will probably do a TC first, then a FW.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but my 6.4 is averaging 11.7 mpg through 670 miles with no towing so far. I've been doing about 50/50 city and hwy driving and no towing yet.
We do still have winter fuel here which I know kills me 10% or so and I've done the remote start the last couple mornings and let it idle for 5 mins. Also, after grinding through the 500 mile break-in period I had to really lay into a couple times to see what she's got (and it's a lot :) ).
I'm thinking 13ish going to be good average for me. I can't imagine seeing 16.5 unless it's just highway driving and keeping your foot out of it.
Its tuff keeping your foot out of the 6.4. Puts a smile on my face every time. Im seeing 14.4 around town going easy with tne right foot. No heavy towing untill it warms up.
