I find it unlikely the 7.3 will best the 6.2 in economy, and if it somehow does manage this feat, it won't be by much. Big power+big displacement+big truck=Thirsty thirsty.
The 7.3 wasn't designed as a 6.2 replacement as much as it was designed as a 6.8 V10 replacement. The fact that they are making it available in the 250/350 configuration is pretty awesome.
I expect engine option to be at least $2,500 , perhaps more as selecting the option will bring the 10 speed trans with it. Power will be better than the outgoing 3 valve V10 it is replacing. So that means 465 HP or better, but at least 500 ft. lbs. If not, there won't be enough of an advantage over the 6.2 V8
