Ya 7.3s can get maybe 22 but from what I understand not often. Maybe driving 55/60 down the interstate all day. I don't do my mileage I don't want to know what I get

I've heard 12v cummins can get pretty good mileage even modded just have to keep ur foot outta it oh and I do believe zf-6 in with 7.3s get better mileage.

My '88 7.3 idi gets 15 regardless of how I drive. It'll go back to getting over $20 when I fix the leaky injector.
