I think for real life comparison fuelly.com is the best site, even you will find some reports that are way off the line.
But standard procedure for comparing statistics - you ignore the high and low extremes.
The 7.3l owners report between 10.8 and 12.4 mpg
6.2l reports 9.6 to 12.4mpg
7.3 l is newer engine and expected to have better fuel management.
The above numbers are without explanation what load, so most likely empty truck.
Big camper will cut down 30-40%
We can split hair here, but reading the statistics - the higher mpg are reported by owners with just few fill ups, when those with 30-50 fill ups have it going down.
I would interpret that that new owners drive carefully for some time and lower speeds bring higher mpg. Once they start putting miles on it, they start pushing it and mpg drops.
It is also common that new truck is used for grocery getter and showing off, when aged trucks are getting beaten up with hauling and towing.
