 it's possible it could do around 25mpg, depending how it's driven though,

Normally the States produce big Gas guzzlers for the US, and export smaller diesels to the UK
 .If this is the case, what must be the size of the gas (petrol) engine sold in the US?  You couldn't park it at Tesco's, spaces are too small.

Quick google says that engine has 250hp. How do they get so much power out of these little engines?

nice, mpg is feasible with light right foot, as so much power on tickover.
7.3 equates to around 450 cubic inch, or big block, for ref a chevy 350 or 5.7 litre is small block. cross over is somewhere around 6.4 litres as i recall. make good fifth wheel tug, though prefer twin rear wheels for that work the extra wheel goes on outside of existing rear wheel with another 6-8 inches of metal work flare covering it! would say 2wd looking at stance, i would prefer dodge ram in this group with its cummins 5.9 - 6.3 straight 6 24 valve td drool.

Especially the lighting 2 door models I was looking at getting 1 a few years back after i saw 1 hit 470bhp on the rollers They can do about 20mpg driving on idle but normally average 10mpg which was the end result in me not getting 1 |
