You should get better if You are able to run slow like 35 to 45 MPH alot and let it get into high gear. I get better MPG alot in town than on the road or at least similar. I have seen MPG at 14 to 15 sometimes but, 12.5 to 13.5 regularly in town unless I'm feeling the need for speed and at 75 sometimes briefly 80,weeeeell 90 MPH I have still gotten 11 to 12. On freeway i get between 13 and 14 sometimes less if hilly or raining and windy. I have gotten 15 on level freeway excellent conditions. Something is goofy with 7.3 in town unless Your are having to idle alot then it would get worse. Are You resetting Your estimate MPG gage after refueling but, I forgot You do not have many miles. My guess is maybe dealer did not set estimator right if Your still burning the tank they gave You. I guess that is one benefit in living in country near a small town. When You fill up be sure to reset AVG Estimate, also amount of gallons used and let us know what it is saying. Well just clear everything except one of the two odometers if Your tracking mileage for break in. There are alot of different ideas about breakin but i always run it from day one just like I'm going to use it all the time. I have never babied an engine on any hot rods I've built until I got out of drag racing back in my 20's and definetly not every day ride. My 1999 Silverado has 135,000 miles and does not take any oil between oil change intervals. I drove it from the beginning like I would every day. I have never had an engine go bad or smoke. They have always run well. Sorry to ramble I need to be sleeping but got hooked watching tractor and truck pulls on ESPN2.
