I drove Dad's 1990 across WA towing a U-Haul, and got 15mpg.  I think it's a 
7.3l,
though; also non-turbo.  Stickshift, too.  I think it's a pretty damned nice 
truck.

1994 was the first full production year for Ford 7.3 using a computer
controlled injection system. Prior years used mechanical injection pump and
injectors.
It is very typical with the early electronic injectors to have failure due
to the wiring that runs to the injectors, under the valve covers. Heat, oil
and age degrade the wire loom and injector function.
Expect to have to replace all the injector harness..

'94 would be 7.3L.
Either the last and arguably best of the IDIs, or the first of the 
Powerstrokes.

More power and less fuel consumption with the PS of course.
Some friends with a 6.9 non-turbo IDI never saw double digit mpg. (3 
speed auto)
