This is more what I was expecting. Are you running the original injectors? Nice airstream btw

Thanks!
Original injectors as far as I know.
I bought her used in 2015.
The other thing I noticed was a full 1mpg drop when the weather gets cold.
I figured it’s a combo of winter fuel blend and a lot of idling “warming up”

My 2000 7.3 had almost the same mileage when I bought it.
Prior to rebuilding the injectors I took some steps to that increased mpg.
Changed the oil and filter using Shell Rotella T6 Synthetic.
Next changed the fuel filter and did a Sea Foam Flush of the injectors.
These things did help increase the fuel economy by about 2 mpg.

Did you rebuild your injectors yourself?

I know that but I don't think it will go up 5mpg once summer comes. This seems exceptionally bad.
When you did the EBPV delete, did you notice a big improvement in the way it ran?

When you order your new fuel filter be sure to check you current fuel filter cap. The one on my truck was one of those cap/filter combinations that the PO had put on there. I had to order a regular cap for it so I could use the replaceable cartridges.

It doesn't sound like they are much different, but this could "add 1 mpg" or so to your results just because you now have an accurate measurement.

It's amazing how much difference even a small change in tire size makes. The easiest way to check your odometer accuracy is to compare your indicated miles against the highway "mile markers". In Ca at least they are the white posts placed every half to one mile intervals. They are accurate to within a matter of an inch or two, depending on where they wind up on the road.
