16mpg running with the windows up, A/C off and doing 60 on the freeway with a tailwind.

In reality look for around 12 in town and 13-14 on the highway unloaded. Add a trailer on the highway and I've been as low 8.5, but that was with 2 swamp buggies on a triaxle 10 ton trailer.

I am getting the towing parts install this weekend so I can't comment on towing MPG. However, my unloaded MPG is:
- Last spring/summer (w/AC when needed) 17-19 around town and around 20 if just purely highway.
- When the diesel changed to the UL I did notice a drop, and have been logging aroung 15. However, I live in the north east (cold) and my commute did shorten considerably so the truck barely gets warm before shutting off.

Hope this helps.
