Ford 7.3 gas burner mpg hauling TC
What kind of mpg could you expect from Ford's new gas burner 7.3 hauling a Northstar Laredo? I have seen where they got 5.6 hauling a heavy loaded trailer.

This is the attitude of a someone who clearly lives where fuel is somewhat affordable or is in an income bracket far above us plebes. Either way, it comes off as bit snotty and stuck up.
Come to CA. I guarantee your tune will change. Fuel is a big part of the expense, if not the biggest for me.
And anyone who's buying a brand new Superduty should be int he aforementioned income bracket or their financial "irresponsibility" with respect to fuel mileage is the least of their issues.
Deltabravo's response, IMO is more directed at the ad-nausem questions like this one and similar, where people are attempting to dissect things at a minute level, when the reality is, there are plethora of conditions that will affect the outcome far more than if one truck is some small percentage more efficient than another.
Similar to the responses about someone's 25 year old truck and what mileage they get as being even remotely comparable.
Or to their point, maybe more comparable than not, as there is so much more to it than what's under the camper.
