Alex,
The 7.3 V-8 is not the Ford V-10. So, what many will tell you is possibly wrong. Very early in your experience with this coach, you should buy a "Scan Gauge" and plug it in. It can feed you instantaneous fuel rate and average as well. Try different fuels. Write the odo on the receipt. Figure out which works best for your driving style.
The alcohol in "motor fuel" adds nothing but cost. The problem is that is now more common. At one time I monitored how much the alcohol contributed. The loss of fuel economy (in crease in fuel rate was a mirror of the alcohol content.
