I have a 2006 f350 6.0 with 66,000 miles on it. I am only getting 11.8 mpg. I do not hot rod my truck around or am pulling a trailer with that 11.8 fuel milage. I have 5 friends that have 6.0 and are getting at a minimum of 15 mpg in town and a high of 21 on the free way. I realize it depends on if you have a lead foot or not. My friend with the lead foot is getting 15 mpg in town and 17 pulling a horse trailer down the free way. she has a 2005 6.0 f250. I just bout this truck three and half weeks ago from a dealer. I was wondering if 11.8 mpg means something is wrong with my motor. The only thing i have seen is a engine light turned on a week ago. It was scanned and it was a turbo under boost. I looked under the hood and the top fuel filter rubber gasket was broke and pouring out fuel. I fixed that and cleared the code. I filled up that tank and reset the odometer and checked fuel milage again and still got 11.8. The engine light has not gone on again. I have stomped on it a few times to get as much boost out of it to see if i could get the engine light to come on again and it has not. Is 11.8 normal? Should i be concerned?
