[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 2485333, member: 24452"] Comparing an F150 with a 5.4 to a F350 dually diesel isn't quite fair, and the only way diesel truck owners are getting 20 mpg is by using "highway gears". I talked to several guys who haul cattle for a living before buying my F250 with the 6.2l gas motor, and even with the Ford 6.7, they are only getting 8-9 mpg pulling and 11-12 empty. Granted, they are running 4.30 gears. My gas trucks are getting 7-8 pulling and 12-14 running empty, and my oil changes at the Ford dealership cost me $52. I have owned 6 diesel pickups since 1995, and I will more than likely never own another one. I just can't make the numbers add up to justify it economically, but whatever floats your boat. [/QUOTE]
