All the 7.3s including the indirect injected up to mid 1994, and the later direct-injected "Powersrokes" can last past 500,000 miles if cared for and not severly abused.

None of them are particulary good. 7.3 is a big engine and it's no way to make it sip fuel like a small engine. I've gotten 17 MPG a few times on a flat drive with my 4WD extended cab Ford. My old 5.9 Cummins can get 19-20 MPG doing the same. My older 1982 Chevy K10 4WD with a 6.2 diesel, 3.08 axles and a four-speed manual with overdrive (NP833) has gotten 24 MPG but is gutless.
