Hi Graeme alot of people dont believe these figures but if it did 30lts per 100 i would say that,these truck are running on 1600 revs at 90klm per hour they are just idling.
Next time you see a yank tank on the road ask the same question and im pretty sure you will get similiar figures.

I also have an F Truck! Mine is a 2001 XLT 7.2 litre turbo diesel. I have a slide on camper on mine so no towing for me! ( I do tow a boat ) I do get 17 ltrs per 100 with my camper on board. Love my Effie!!

Great effort fuel wise with the Ftrucks,turning circle would take a bit of getting used too,
but I have owned n driven trucks and semi,s so you just have to allow for it.

 I find my truck to be extremely easy to handle with a much smaller turning circle then I initially thought.
