F150 Ecoboost vs F250 Diesel mileage

The fuel cost per mile is about a wash so far but I will have the truck for about another 3 weeks so I collect more data. All of my trips are different but this one was fairly typical.

Just a observation.
Fuel costs per mile is best found using several tanks of fuel and use the average mpg for those tanks.

Computer mpg will vary between truck brands so I wouldn't even bother with what two different truck brand computer is saying about mpg issues.

When I had LDTs on the road I and my drivers kept a mileage log for each truck to keep us tuned to actual average fuel costs which could be broke down per week/month/same trip/yearly/etc.

To those that saw my immediate response I apologize for getting a little irritated. This was not advertised or even meant to be a scientific experiment. In fact, I didn't mean to do this at all but the guy that hit my F150 thrust it on me so I decided to make the most of the situation and maybe have a little fun while doing it. If anyone wants to send me several thousand dollars to do a "proper test" please feel free to do so. It might be more that I a few thousand as I really should have a 2019 F150 to do a proper test.

I have never seen any comparison between these two engines doing the same job so I thought that there might be some value in this data even though it is flawed. Currently, I am a bit disappointed in the economy and power of the diesel and really have to question whether I would ever pay $9k for it unless I had to have it to get a truck rated to pull my trailer. Not that the diesel isn't powerful, it just isn't that much more powerful than the EcoBoost.
