Question about diesel mileage
I'd like to upgrade our tow vehicle one of these days. My 150 STX is a little underpowered four our TT. I pulled a 21' bass boat with a undersized GMC Jimmy for years, so I'm used to the extra weight ...

Since my engine was being discussed in this thread and was said to have 200hp, I'll note that my 1996 7.3 Ford Diesel has 215hp stipulated on the nameplate.
I believe the last production 7.3 had 275hp in 2003, a result of program tweaking and beefier injectors and such.
It's not hard for the aftermarket guys to get 400 horsepower, and actually a lot more than that, from the big 444-cubic-inch block. I've seen some claiming to be in the 600 to 700 or more stratosphere.
Horsepower wasn't what stopped the 7.3 from continuing on.
It was Global Warming that did her in.
I've got to stop now and go shovel off the snow that's covering my driveway, here in Louisiana, today!
I was shoveling snow a few days ago as well.
Good thing they killed the 7.3 or no telling how bad it would be.
