Is my mileage unusual?
I towed for over 10 years with a Ford V10 and averaged 8.25 mpg (nothing any better than 9.65). I've been towing over the last year with a Ford diesel and like the way it tows, however, the best mpg ...

FWIW, I also had damaged injectors caused by low fuel pressure, but it sounds like your problem was a tad deeper than mine with the water in the fuel. I use a Scangauge II to monitor the engine, including FICM voltages, oil and coolant temperatures, and I use an Autometer fuel pressure gauge to monitor that in real time, and I monitor battery charging voltage with a second Autometer gauge. I have an 05 PSD F250. And to be on topic, I get a max of 22 mpg unloaded and cruising and trying hard, and around 11.5 towing a tall car hauler at 9K lbs in hilly terrain. Much depends on headwinds, I've gotten worse but rarely much better than that. Coming from a Dodge Hemi 2500HD that did 7.5 - 9 mpg same load, same route, I actually buy one tank of fuel per day less with the Ford 6.0 when I am on a trip.
