The Verdic is in, New Ford 7.3 V-8 Gas mpg not so Great

5.5 to 6.1 mpg while pulling a load, looks like the new 7.3 V-8 gets about the same mpg as the 6.8 V10.. Different motor same mpg, looks like the gas motorhomes are still stuck with bad mpg.. ...

I'm not even a little surprised. BTUs are BTUs. Big trucks with big engines use a lot of fuel, nothing new there. The real test will be how well does it do in MH duty. My guess is it will be a real nice improvement.
