Earlier this year I was reading about Ford and an upcoming bigger gas engine. I probably read it on this site but I'm not sure. It was rumored that the new engine would get better fuel mileage than the 6.2. I don't know if that's true or not but it's absolutely possible.
I have a 6.2 and it meets my needs very well but I do wish that it got better fuel mileage. I'm sure no matter what any of you drive you'd like to get better mileage. A 7.3 would have more torque than a 6.2 so it should be able to pull in a higher gear so that could very well attribute to higher mileage.
I wouldn't go buy a 7.3 to pull my 10,000 gvwr camper but if I had one a little bigger than that I would. It should be able to pull what most of us own but I wouldn't expect it to get the fuel mileage of a diesel.
If a person is not driving a lot of miles or pulling something huge I see it as a good alternative to a diesel.
