Depends on which one you have. Our Dodge averages 21 MPG, but our Ford averages 14. Just depends.

My fuel cost for the tractor is not what is hurting so bad its the fuel that I am using in my truck .

We have a dodge 2500 and it gets about 18-20 mpg and our ford 2500 gets 20-24 our ford has a chip.

Its cheaper for me to buy a used 4cyl vehicle than to drive my truck back and forth everywhere. Even last year before the price really went high I was spending 80-100 every week on gas.

My Tundra gets 25-28, but it's the 8 cylinder, not the 6.

I bought a little chev. Aveo to drive when I don't have to have the truck. It gets 32 city and 38 interstate. I'll admit I don't look sexy in it. On the other hand I wouldn't look sexy driving a lamborghini towing a porsche.

WOW, those are factory rated for 18 on the highway. How are you squeezing that kind of fuel economy out of it? My '97 T100 averages 19-20 if I keep it 65 mph or less and that's with a V6.

"She thinks my Aveo's sexy..."

It's OK bama, as long as you can still cook up a mean put of stew, we'll look past your less than handsome mug. :lol: :lol:

Of course me saying this is definitely the pot calling the kettle black.

Maybe in the fall I'll do a bear gumbo. Assuming I get my bear this august.

I have a '97 T100 too, and I can't even get that out of it. I get 16mpg, tops.

I towed upward of 5500lbs with mine once (heavy 16' car hauling trailer loaded with 70 or so 5" wood posts) and I burned close to a quarter of a tank in about 20 miles.. I figure it was getting about 4 or 5 mpg.

It wasn't a fun trip, either. I was just waiting for the Class III hitch to remind me of why they're rated for 5K lbs.

It may not be broken in yet. Mine has 304,000 miles on it. ;-)

That's probably it.. Mine's only got about 115,000 right now. :lol:

On a side note, somebody told me that Toyota was coming out with a fullsize diesel soon.. That should be interesting.

Outrageously expensive, no doubt, but interesting.

F450 with 6.0 diesel 12mpg.

Western Star 4900 EX Lowmax...5mpg :shock: :lol: ...maybe 6 at the tops, with no trailer

Hmmm. Our Ford of that vintage beats that. You may have some other problem......
