In your truck pulling what kind of trailer? Weighing how much? Your question needs to be more detailed.

Best (assuming for our trucks...) I'd honestly have to say Dave Whitmer (moderator of this forum).
worst... My friend has a biga** 5th wheel that he pulled through the Nevada desert headed east @ 70-75 mph... Averaged 4.7.... Major ouch.

Best I've gotten is 24.5mpg, and i'm still getting around that at 60-64mph on the highway.
Worst I've gotten was something like 8mpg grossing 26k.

Best i've ever gotten was an average of 24 mpg driving mostly interstate with the cruise set at 2K rpm which is around 70 mph.

Don't know what i get on average for my daily stuff, i don't care that much. I didn't buy the truck to get good mileage. That is why i have a civic and a motorcycle

LOLLOL I've never understood why people check mileage on one tank.....and towing....who cares about mileage....you're towing!



I check mine over every quarter year(keep fuel records for farm) with fuel visible in the neck only on the fills that I plan on checking for the quarter. Total #miles over total gallons.....since I overhauled my engine and got it back on the road back in Feb. I've averaged 18-19 so far this year in the first 12,000 miles....towing, city and highway all together. And I tow on a weekly basis on the farm...anywhere from 18-24k gross pick up, trailer and all.

Going to TS with the 2000 first tank was around 18.5mpg that's running it the hot setting driving 75mph, 70mph & 65mph depending on what area we were in. Didn't check on the second tank because we ran the last 45mins of the trip doing about 85+ just knew it wasn't good.

Best was 24.8 hand calculated from tampa florida to wells maine. Thats in the mostly stock excursion, inside frighted with vacation stuff, towing nothing.

Worst I've seen with it was 15 hauling a 7x18 enclosed trailer loaded with bikes on basically the same trip.
