    Thanks PartTimeScrapper. Your post is encouraging, 15mpg on a v8 is nice. However, assuming your daughter's truck is a reg cab, is has a curb weight of approx. 4300lbs. The 99' f250 SD has a curb weight of 5096lbs, a difference of 796lbs. So the SD would suffer a few mpg's due to its weight, I think.
