Wow, 11 MPG! How did you get that?, Jeez, I wish I could get 11. I get 9.5, but then again I have the V-10 gasser. Anyway, breathing is the best way...Air in, air out- Improve the flow on both ends, and you'll do better. Or, keep a KIA sephia in the wayback, and drive that when diesel gets too expensive.

Yeah my dad has the V10 and he says he gets 10 on the highway...I am happy with my 14-16 with my 5.4 24v
11 MPG for a stock 7.3 Ex. means something is wrong if you're driving habits are the culprit. You aren't going to get MPG up to where they should be (15-20 range) by any aftermarket goodies. Even if you do, have you figured out how long (years) it'll be before you get those aftermarket goodies paid for in saved fuel cost?
Something else is going on. A 7.3 can get 20-22 HWY and much better that 11 in the city unless it's stop and go cold weather driving.

What's up Family Ride, long time no talk to.
How's the Excursion holding up?

My sister-in-law has a 01 7.3 excursion. Without the turner set to stock=13mpg in town with it set to 90 hp she gets 18. Everything else is stock.
From what I'm told the best modification for fuel mileage improvement is to put a block of wood under the accelerator.
