its on a friend of mines new (2010) f350 dually v10, single cab, 2wd auto. has a flatbed with welders and generators and all that stuff on it. he works in the pipeline industry (or maybe its oil field) and idles it alot.

the sherrifs truck here (2009) f250 4 door, short bed, 4x4, auto, 5.4 reads 8.5mpg. all he does is idle it when his jailers are out working in the heat, he sits in the AC and watches

I got you all beat. I don't have a picture, but the Edge tuner shows 2 MPG hauling my new equipment up the local valley. Needless to say I'm upgrading to a diesel.
