I am the happy owner of a 99 250 SD Crew Cab Long Bed V-10 4-speed Automatic, 4.30 LS with 265/75 x 16 LT tires.
We bought it for towing and do very little "city" driving with it. However, I was quite suprised with the hiway mileage. Mine is a 4x2 and I get 14.2 cruising the freeways at 70-75 MPH. I took one trip through the desert (from Las Vegas to San Diego) avoiding the I road and just cruised at 55 MPH. The mileage went up to 15.5 MPG. (There was one short stretch when I took her up to 90+ when passing a string of motor homes wallowing up a 1% grade at 50 - but I kept the cruise control at 55 for the rest of the trip!)
Good luck to you. I know you'll love the V-10. It is sooooo smoooooth. Just step on it an hang on!!!
