I tow a 26' Bonair fifth with it and the truck loaded with way too much stuff. I averaged 18 mpg (imperial) and briefly hit 20mpg when the wind co-operated. Edmonton to west central Min. This is down slightly from previous years but I have turned up the fuel a bit too much and the ultra lo sulfur fuel is a factor. I suspect that this is roughly equivalent to 16mpg with the puny lil 'merican gallons. Speeds are around 60 mph. Most of the way is fairly flat but there are nasty winds at times. Rural mpg with no trailer are around 27 to 28 Miles per Imperial Gallon. Mpg seems to drop when it gets hot, say 90ish. I think this may be due to the lack of intercooling. Temps are not bad though. I usually have to take my foot out of it near the top of longish grades to keep below 1100 degrees (post) but find that taking a bit of an acceleration run before the climb lets the air stay ahead of the fuel and she stays fairly cool. My worst unloaded mpg is in the city where it drops to the low 20's sometimes. Not too bad for a three quarter ton tuck with almost half a million Kliks on the ODO.

Head wind and mountains 13.5 to 13.9 normal pulling between 15 to 16 Can mpg thats pulling a 25 ft TT thats all on paper, the overhead is wack since put in the ZXT tow chip. but then I get 22 to 25.5 mpg at 65 empty, this 06 gets way better mileage than my old GMC diesel.

10K miles on the '99 CTD with 25ft Airstream on behind, mixed terrain (AL, TN, AR, NC) at about 65mph... 15 mpg. Hope for somewhat better economy with the 2005.

I drive on mostly flat land here in Texas. My most of the time tow is a dual axle 235/75-15 tire 350 gallon tank trailer that weighs 5,400ish full and 2,000ish empty. I get high 17/low 18 towing it both ways.

I had 13 pressure washers stuffed on to a lowboy rather ratty trailer from North Texas back to Shepherd and I got high 16 for that trip.

And in my sig is the average of all driving and all towing for a little over 100K miles.
