99 is the mpg for all Fords I’ve been in. You only have to hit reset and go down a steep hill. It’s the norm. ;)
Any way, larger engines generally get better mpg than small ones once the smaller ones are working hard. So, not a surprise that the 7.3 with more efficient transmission would get better MPG especially when the TC is loaded.
The other issue that always comes up on the MPG threads is we all have different types of terrain to travel in, some draft trucks (you know who you are), and some drive really slow either because that’s the speed on the roads they like to travel or because they like to be a roadblock other traffic. :D
