Hello... without the management crap. My 250 is currently getting 26. I'm happy over 20.

As long as 20 is the goal you'll be fine.

Expect high 20's and you'll be dissappointed.

And hello, if you are getting 26 out of your 250, why would you expect the same truck with a different badge & rear springs to get better?

If you are stepping up to a 2011, you may increase your mileage but why would you want to disassemble (read: void warranty) a brand new and unproven engine?

I doubt if a big truck like a 250 is getting 26mpg over a typical city/highway fuel tank. More like 20.

My uncle "claimed" he was getting "50" mpg with his Cummins diesel...I was like yeah OK. Dude was prolly looking at the instaneous fuel economy when the injectors were being turned OFF during a coast.
