Art, a friend of mine has a newer 550 with the automatic and 4.88's and he has complained that he gets 7mpg towing a camper on the interstate. He just got back from the beach and drove the "old" two lane slow road this time and doubled his milage. I know a few guys with the 6.4's and they all really complain about them being gas hogs. At least with the 7.3 you have a MUCH more reliable engine than the later model Ford engines.Don Jackson
