The 6.8L “Mini Godzilla” V8 in the 2025 Ford F-250 has quickly become one of the most interesting HD gas engines on the market, so today I put it through a full real-world fuel economy test to see how it actually performs in day-to-day driving. HD gas engines are known for being thirsty, and a lot of people assume this 6.8L is no different — but is it really that bad? Or can the Mini Godzilla surprise us?
In this video, I run the truck through my full MPG loop, including highway cruising, rural backroads, and light city driving. The engine feels smooth, responsive, and honestly more refined than most people expect from a base-engine Super Duty. But fuel economy is where the real questions come in. With a shorter stroke than the 7.3L Godzilla, the 6.8L tends to rev a little higher and work a bit harder, which usually hurts MPG. Still, I wanted real data, not assumptions — so that’s exactly what we test today.
If you’re considering a new F-250 and wondering whether the 6.8L is a practical choice for daily driving and towing, this video breaks down everything you need to know about its real-world fuel economy.
