Our 2003 F250 & 7.3 litre PowerStroke got 12mpg towing our fiver and 24mpg when not towing. We have an 05 6L now and will soon put it to the test.
When towing we were in overdrive 99% of the time. At 65mph the engine revved at 1900 rpm. Most folks I know with gas V8's or V10's run in 3rd gear at higher revs and are off to the right lane when pulling up grades. They all get at least 20% fewer mpg.
Early tests runs with the 05 F250 6L and 5 speed tranny feel good. Crisp shifts, good accelleration, less noise and we LOVE that integrated brake controller.
