Took my truck to the camp this weekend. The trip was all interstate/highway with out any stop and go. I was real easy on the peddle. I usually have a heavy foot, but took my time to see how good it would do. The read out was reading 19.1 when I got to the my destination. Once I got to the camp I put around 60 miles on the truck before I filled up. Sine it was a lot of back roads the read out dropped down to 18.1 when I got to the station. I HAND CALCULATED 17.45 mpg. I had 298 miles on the tank and put 17.035 gallons. If I were to have filled up when it was reading 19.1 I should have been very close to 18 mpg.

I took a different way going home passing through a lot of stop and go traffic before I got to the interstate. I dropped down to 16 mpg.

Here's a photo. Before anyone ask, no I didn't reset it then take the picture. When I left my house it was reading 14.2 mpg then climbed up.

 

Nice. What are you driving? I assume it's a SuperDuty, based on where this is posted. But your tag says 2007 F-150?

 

i appologize for that. It's a 2010 6.4L with out any mods.

 

Ah, well still, that is very cool. Great to see mileage posted like that from a diesel. Were you hauling much of a load?

 

Not much of anything. Had 3 passengers and luggage in the bed.

 

How many regens did it go through? That's what sucks the fuel.

 

When I hit around 1000 miles it did it. On the read out it said "cleaning filter". I've never seen it come up again. How often is it supose to regen?

 

Depends how you drive it, from what I understand. When your warranty is up, do a DPF delete and get a tune.

 

The problem there is it may be 10 years before I hit 100k miles. lol. I have a company vehicle so I won't put more than 10k/year if that.

From what I'm reading, the DPF delete and a tuner will remove any possible issues that I may have.

 

Its 5yrs or 100k, whichever comes first. From the sounds of it you'll run out when you hit 5yrs from the in-service date on the truck.

 

I get about 19MPG in my 08 6.4L. Going back and fourth to work I get about 16MPG.

 

Nice, I get up there on highway trips, but living so close to work now, the 6.4L never warms up, and regens every 100 miles or so. Actually haven't even driven it in three weeks with the jacked up diesel fuel price and 12mpg. Ends up being cheaper drivin the 360FE gasser in the '74 F-250.

I was going to hold out for the 5year warranty to run out, as I'll never hit the mileage, but the DPF is pissin' me off so much a Spartan tuner is gonna be within the next few months.
