Driving circumstances are extremely influential with fuel economy. For example, our trips most often include a lot of highway driving across the Great Plains where fuel economy is better. Others travel less, often all mountain or high traffic driving so their numbers will be lower.
I should also mention that we consistently cruise the open road at 5mph over the posted speed limits which are often different when towing. But we do limit ourselves to 70mph.
For us with our aerodynamic 2007 E350-V10 rig with the current-day Torque-shift transmission shown here, "TRIP AVERAGES" have been fairly predictable at 9-9.5mpg when we take our Jeep Liberty along, and 10-11mpg when we leave it home. Fuel economy is nearly the same because when towing, once at our destinations, the rig stays put and the Jeep does the bad-mileage-condition driving.
