I love my Truck
Tried driving at 110 KMH for once... WOW,,,, I reset my computer in Edmonton to check out mileage
7l per 100 KM or about 31MPG. This was average... Next comes the hand calculation... but the last time I did a comparison between the computer and had it was actually quite close within 1 or 2 MPG...
I even did a 200 kmh blast passing a row of dorks during this trip... my previous best mileage was 8 l per 100km or about 27 28 mpg.
I now have 80000 kms on it, seems to have loosed up a little bit... amazing truck

WOW, Pretty Good----Best i can muster out of the 07 DRW is 19-20MPG driving at 110KPH in summer (even with the BFG KM2 33.5 inch tires),heck even my 01 with everything turned up gives me 22MPG at 110KMH---go above 2000RPM and they both drop quick
.Wifes 08 Nissan Sentra (2.5LT) gives us 40(170HP) on the highway.CHEERS DW

Before I went too crazy on the 03 dodge I used to get around 24 MPG. That was with a Diablosport Dr P combination.
My ford has the DPF removed, AFE intake, EGR block off plates, and a SCT tuner with Erick from Innovative Diesel tunes

That's is pretty amazing. I drive a 2011 Ford 6.7 crew cab short box work truck. It's 9400lbs with all the tools and it will only get 600km to a 100L tank!

Heard a few engine 6.7L ford failures. To bad they didn't keep the 6.4L around, sure wished I bought one vs. my 2010. Congrats on the decent fuel mileage buddy. These days been getting only 300-400km per tank on the 02, must run it 10-14hr's a day, idle it around 6-10hrs a day. Been cold here in Regina and my fuel gauge died.

Maybe I should get a newer truck, seems to be wiping the floor with my truck. I get about 700-800km on 100-110 litres, and thats highway. Time for some high compression pistons and a camshaft, I suppose.
