First tank mileage

First tank mileage
I just turned 998miles on the odo. This is actually the second tank of diesel (the first being the dealer fillup). I went 442 miles and filled, to the rim, 31.087 gals at $2.509 (ouch) for average of 14.218 mpg. This was almost entirely city driving (sucks). Maybe 10%hwy. I'm actually happy with this. My gasser f250 or Ram1500 of the past would be very luck to get double digit mileage with that kind of driving...... Now about those diesel prices...

I get to put my first tank of fuel in tomorrow... just rolled over 500 miles on the ticker
I'll fill it to the brim and calculate my milage from now on. I doubt the dealer filled it 100% so I know any calculation now wouldn't be accurate

congradulations on your new truck! as your truck "brakes in"mileage will only get better,20 mpg is possible,(maybe more?)keep your rpm below 2000,driving habits,tire pressure,good maint.etc.good luck enjoy!
