25mpg 4x4 7.3 strocker???
Talking to a guy I know and he claims 25mpg on a 99 ferd. It has a k&n filter (hehe), a 4" exhaust and a bullydog programmer. 75mph on the highway, 2 tanks, hand calculated.
What do you folks think?

Just another bit of what was stated above....
There is no way a 445ci engine of diesel/gasoline is going to get 25mpg unless it is being pushed in neutral!
My dad has a '97 PowerJoke and the best he has ever got is 18mpg. He has over 325K on that POS and it averages about 16-17mpg with mixed city/highway.

My uncles have two of them
at best (crew cab dually 4x4's mildly bombed to about 400 horses) they get about 16 on the highway.... So i think the bulldookie meter is on high alert...

My old man got rid of his 99 F-350 Power'less' Stroke a little over a year ago, and the best he could do was 14-15 mpg, all hand calculated. And this truck was bone stock. Of course it pulled a trailer for the first 98,000 miles of its life. Then he bought it and put another 40k on it. So, yea I am calling BS on this one too.

On Second thought, ask your buddy if it was because there was a Cummins behind him... Who knows, you know how fast you are when you run now and for how long you can run that fast, but when a Rottweiler is chasing you, it seems that the ole body decides it can run faster and for a lot longer. Maybe that is what happened on this crooked finger calculation.
