Best I've ever gotten empty is 16 MPG, but 14-15 MPG is more the usual with my two 7.3s. My old 6.9 is worse, but it only has a C6 with no OD. I always figured a standard shift would do better, but I've never had one in a Ford. And, with the Dodge-Cummins, I've never had one with automatic - just the Gertrag five-speed.
Both my 7.3s get 11-12 MPG when pulling a moderate sized trailer. That's not too bad. My only gripe with my Fords is the empty mileage. Seems when I drive somewhere just to pick up two sheets of plywood, I ought to get 20 MPG instead of 14-16 MPG. I'll add though that all my trucks are 4WD and extended cab with full length boxes. I assume a standard cab, 2WD would do better.
I've got an 82 Chevy K10 with a 6.2 diesel and four-speed manual overdrive along with 3.08 axles. Absolutely useless for towing, but . . it gets 23-24 MPG on the highway with a light load.
