If I recall sticker estimated gas at 12 mpg city 15 mpg highway but we all know that those estimates are bogus. I think on highway driving to LA I got 350-375 mpg on a full tank which would be approx 17-18 mpg. I think city on a full tank would get approx 225-250 mpg which would drop it down to about 11-12 mpg. I think considering what you pay for disel and the mpg of your f-250 you will save lots of dough! <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ July 29, 2008, 06:12 PM: Message edited by: venommS ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>707vibrantcobra93</b> <br /><small>Member # 4702</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,6,29,23,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> thanks for all the info guys and yeah i guess with what i pay now anything else is a deal, the only other thing i would like to know is how happy you guys are with the performance and comforts of your trucks, they seem nice in pictures but never really toyed around with one, i oly drive a mile and a half to work so gas isn't gonna be that bad, i'm almost convinced that this is the vehicle for me <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>venommS</b> <br /><small>Member # 7837</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,6,30,4,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I was happy with the 305hp in my Navi it accelerated nicely for its' size drove smooth even with the 22's I had on it. It had a comfortable ride and felt solid and safe on the road. I just threw a K&N filter in it to help it breathe. I only got rid of it because I was so impressed with the new X5's otherwise I would have kept it. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
