Checking around the internet I'm finding claims of 8 and up to 20mpg from stock F-250s. Anyone have enough experience in one to give real world numbers?

I have a 2015 F350 with 6.7. It now has over 13,000 miles once it hit 12,000 the fuel MPG improved to just under 16 uptil then it was around 12. All this with out load and running city and highway mix. The most efficient seems to be when you're running about 1800 RPM, 70-75 MPH.

2015 F-250 4x4 model
I average 15 to 16.5 in city driving. Highway I have been getting 18.5 to 19.5, in the 70 to 80 MPH range. It will go down to 17 or so when the DEF kicks in but it will then climb back up after driving more. I got 10.7 mpg pulling my 36 foot 5th wheel. Got 8.4 in a dodge pulling 18 foot lowboy with a Polaris Ranger on it. Wasn't very happy with Dodge at all.
In my 2013 F-250 I got about a mpg less on everything than what I am getting now. My dad is getting about a mpg less in his 2015 as well. My buddy is getting about a a mpg more than me. Guess it all depends on the truck and people's driving habits.

No that was the 6.0 liter. I had 2. I had zero problems out of either...till my last one gave it up in my driveway...no warning...conversly, my 7.3 is rock solid at 265k. My neighbor has a 2015 250...hand calculating his mpg he says he's getting 16.5. The "lie-o-meter" says 10 mpg.

I have a 2011 f-250 power stroke that I only use for road trips. I live in the mountain west but travel as far as California and Texas. My mileage varies widely depending on how fast I drive. If I keep it 60-65 I can get 20+, cruise at 70-80 and it drops to 18. If I tow my trailer it's 9-12 mpg. I have just over 60,000 miles on the odometer.

I have a 2012 with almost 100K on it. Right now I have a 3Hole Topper/Slide in, it fits outside the bed so it's a big wind drag. Before I switched to the larger 3 hole I was getting in the mid 16's now with the bigger 3 hole I'm getting in the mid 15's on average.

Pulling a 10,000 lb travel trailer I get between 10 and 12 depending elevation and wind.

2011 with 120k miles. I pull a skid steer just about every day somewhere to a job. My driving without the skid steer Is about 50/50 highway and in town driving. "Lie-o-meter" says 14.9-15 mph. I checked it on the highway a couple times on road trips and it was saying 18 or just a tad better.

2015 F-250 CCSB with 16k miles and I haven't re-set trip B since new. It's 15.4 with 70/30 highway to city driving.

I do better MPG-wise without using the cruise control. Last 100 miles on flat roads at speeds between 60-70 I got 18.5 mpg.

Headwind will kill this truck's MPG. I drove across South Dakota into a strong headwind at 80 mph and got around 13 mpg.

You know what they say: if you you ask about mileage you definitely can't afford the truck. It is what is is and we can't change it, I have a Platinum and I enjoy the seats, the Back -Up Camera, The back up alarms Plus the tail gate assist. If you buy a vehicle based on MPG and deisel goes to $5 in a year you're srewed.
Same thing with a PUP think it thru
