H1 I think you should be getting better then that. See if the cleaning of the EBVP helps at all.

Bone stock 7.3L with 3.73 gearing. Mileage seems very low to me.

Any suggestions?

That is low! Clean the tube like suggested, check your air filter and change your fuel filter. Beyond that get a DP tuner and put a 6637 in. But then PMS starts and you will have a love hate relationship with this website!

Check to also see if your hubs are STUCK in the LOCKED position...if the vacuum controlled unlock didn't work...they could be stuck in the lock and adding drag to the drive line you don't need...

just another thought...
