I get about 11.4 around town and about 12-13 on Highway. Towing about 10.

we generally sit @8mpg...  when we get to 9 we do a little happy dance... thankfully we don't put alot of miles on our Av.
 
Dic is saying 10.9 currently. I estimate closer to 11.5. Average about 10 miles a day at 55mph and 40 miles at 70mph. Crusing back from Chicago hand calulated about 13.8 doing 70mph. About a 320 plus trip one way.
