I am a Fleet Manager for an Ambulance Co. and we have 2 6.0's one is a basket case with 158K on it and it is my shop fixture.I see it almost once a week.The other has 190K and only a 2 a/c comp and maint items.So it is all in the hand you are delt.lol
The rest a the good ol 7.3 and you almost cant kill them.
Our 7.3 trucks get around 15 to 17 depending what crew is in them.I have some lead foots.lol. I have one E-450 truck with a huge box it is our critical care truck it is very heavy.It gets about 8-10 mpg's

Do y'all get better numbers with the winter blend diesel? Cause up here in Montana theres some pretty bad winters. They got it at the gas stations in the winter.... Can I just use regular one day and fill up with WB the next?

I have a 2001 F250 w/ the 7.3. I've gotten about 15mpg since the day I drove it out of the showroom. It now has 185,000 on it and other than constantly throwing front end parts at it in futile attempts to keep it aligned, I've had only minor maintenence issues.
