Maybe downhill! Some guys here are getting good numbers, but I don't know about that good. Most new 7.3's I have been around when new, start at about 18mpg and fall till they reach about 15.

20+ Mpg

I get 20+ MPG all the time on the highway.
Got some mods coming up soon that I hope it will improve.
Usually run right around 70 MPH.
(I wish I could keep it at 65 though!)
So it is possible.

Woah!!! I only get 10-13 best around town. That may be because I am having a few issues. For several years I have been pulling a 23' camper and was getting 10mpg. I'm sure I should be getting better performance.
