Ford E-350- too much gas???

I bought 1993 ford E-350, 5,8 L, V8, 6 month ego and I'm thinking than it's takes too much a gas. aprox. 7-9 miles per gallon. I don't have any owners manuals , than I cannot check it, if it's normal or not.

You have a heavy duty pickup designed for pulling trailers. With a high gear ratio of 4.something I would expect about 10 mpg.

Could you give us some info on your Econoline? How many miles, do you know what rear end? I would think that you should easy get 13-15 mpg.

I have an 87 with 351-4V and automatic; the mileage is high, about 186K. Best I've seen in the 4 yrs. driving it is about 10 - 12 to the gallon. I'll let you know if I get any improvement with a new engine
