Yes, odd indeed. I thought it should have gotten better mileage too,
especially with the 5 speed tranny, also totally stock. It did have 4.10:1
gearing (yours is probably 3.73). We had a '97 F350 4x4 flowerstroke crew
cab with an automatic that turned in better mileage, but it was broken in at
85K miles when we bought it where the '94 was new and had only 12K on it
when it was traded along with the camper for a motorhome. Talk about
HORRIBLE mileage, a 31' class C with a 454 Chev in it, and it was lucky to
get 7MPG, OOOOUUUUCCCCHHHH! My parents have since moved on to a similarly
sized class C motorhome with the Triton V10 that gets MUCH better mileage,
around 10MPG hauling a 3000# toad. My wife and I have a 03 Dodge Cummins
6spd quad cab 2wd with 25K miles on it pulling a 7000# travel trailer, and
it will reliably get 14MPG in the mountains on our trips from the Willamette
valley to the coast. I hope it gains a few MPG on the flats. It has no
problem exceeding 21MPg empty, and that involved some mountain roads as well
as flat highway. I wouldn't be surprised to "see" 23-24MPG empty on a flat
interstate.
