0.9% is for suckers!

Easy does it. Lol. I went to the lease this weekend, so I decided to do a little test. These are estimates based on the trip meter, I'll re confirm with the hand calc later. It was myself, my 50lb son, a few bags, two fully loaded Yeti 65qts in the rear.
6.7 crewcab 4x4, 355s
I drove 80+ and higher, down there, heavy traffic on the way out, and averaged 14 mpg.
On the way back, I filled up again, reset the trip and set the cruise at 71, and no matter what, did not deviate until I got to my neighborhood. I averaged almost 19.
None of this is scientific, but I took my GF and my son to lunch downtown next am, drove aimlessly in Houston for 3-4 hours. I took it easy, no crazy acceleration, kept it 65-70 on the freeway. When we got home I was still at 18.9 mpg.

It really is impressive how far these trucks have come, burning cleaner and getting good mileage to boot. I think I need to get into your career field, nice big superduty AND yeti coolers! Haha

The 09-10s would regen sometimes for what seemed like 30 min. The 6.7s regen every 200 miles or so but the light is on for about a second or less and I've never seen the mileage drop. It's more of the lead foot that drops the mileage. If I do 85-90 for 500 miles I get 14.

Our 2011 F350 got 18-19mpg for the first month or so, and has never gotten past 14mpg after that. It regens EVERY time we drive it. But no, the dealer says that's "normal". I love the truck, but damn... we have bad luck apparently.
