1999-2000 F250 Super duty as daily scrap truck

I use a 04 f250 often. It has the 5.4

It can drink gas, if i get stuck in stop and go traffic, i can watch the needle bury.

I would not buy one for mileage.

Not to mention the thing sags with 2k lbs in the back. Buy a 1 ton if you want a real truck, and get a diesel and run alt fuels.



And i would expect better mileage out of a 6cyl.

Yeah I expected better mileage too. My truck does have a tranny problem, TCC brake solenoid is stuck on. Sometime I can hear and feel the torque converter shutter. I suspect this is the culprit for such crappy mpg. But I've grown to accept paying $20-$23 for regular everyday because I do make good money. It wouldn't hurt though squeezing a couple of miles more per gallon, and saving 30 bucks more a week. What kind of mileage do you get out of your Super Duty?
