Mark, I've got a 95 f350 srw 5speed 4.10; best fuel economy empty or loaded is right at 72 mph, averages about 11 mpg. Hope this helps.

Hey dude,
Well you know what I got so I wont tell you
If you keep the rpm's aprrox 2,000 that is the best for the engine power and fuel milage. I get approx 15 mpg at 2,00 rpm.
have a safe trip.

Mark,
As Bo pointed out, around 2000 RPM seems to be good for light truck diesels. My truck seems to get the best mileage if kept around 2000-2200 RPM, but don't worry, you will have plenty of time to experiment with speed for the best fuel mileage. That is a long trip (as you probably know, I have spent a lot of time on I70).
Have a safe trip and keep in touch!

I get about 600km to a fillup (dual tanks) on mostly city driving. Mine's a crew with 4.10 & 5spd. I try to not to exceed 2000rpm, but I turn about 2200 to keep up on the highway, and 2500+ purely for entertainment purposes 
I wish it had the 3.55 axle instead... or bigger tires
