well i say terrible , its getting 10 miles to the gallon , i have a edge programmer on it set at the level two position. I had it on the level one , and it towed ok but just wanted a little more ummmph . No check engine lights or anything.
By the way this is unloaded not towing either. THe truck rarely gets driven , so its been going unnoticed.

F250 or F350 (or Van)?
Crew cab/extended cab/regular cab?
Dually or SRW?
Manual or Automatic?
4x2 or 4x4?
3.73 gears or 4.10 or other?
What size wheels?
What size tires?
Bug deflector?
Windshield visor?
Stock bumpers?
Camper/tonneau/cap/open/other?
Stock intake?
Stock exhaust?
Low sulfur diesel or Ulta-low sulfur diesel?
Believe it or not, ALL of the above can affect mileage. Your issue as stated is too ambiguous.

How do i clean fuel injectors
This is what I use. A tad expensive but XPD is the second leading fuel lubricity additive on the market behind Biodiesel;

Hi i have an 2001 7.3 its lifted 6 in and on 35's and the best injector cleaner that i have found is lucas fuel injector cleaner its cheep and u can get it any where at any parts store. the first time put half the bottle in then use it every time u get fuel. I picked up 2 miles per gallon with that. Do u have anything else donr to your truck?

I guess ill start with an additive. Thought about taking it to Ford to get a scan. But Ill try this first. Like mentioned , the only thing done is a edge programmer ,and Magnaflow downpipe and exhaust.
