Default 7.3 ford diesel

Hey guys, Im kinda new to the world of diesels. I just got my first diesel truck a few months ago. Its a 1999 ford flatbed with the 7.3 in it. It has a lil over 500k miles on it and runs great. I only use it to pull my gooseneck with my equipment on it. My equipment will weigh anywhere from 9500 lbs to 13500 depending on which machine Im pulling(besides the trailer weight) The last two tanks of diesel, I only got between 7-8 mpg. Is this normal for this engine? I didnt expect it to get great fuel mileage,but did expect a lil better than this.
