Our aerodynamic <24' 2007 E350-V10 averages on trips at 10.5mpg not towing, 9.5 when towing the Jeep Liberty you see here. I am talking about 4000 to 5000 mile trip averages, not a tail-wind figure between fill-ups or best reading off a scan gauge. I suppose if I did, I'd be quoting 13 to 15mpg.
One of the numbers I like to display on the Scan Gauge-II is the TPS (throttle position sensor). Basically it is the position of the gas pedal. The number itself is meaningless until you learn what your rig's sweet spot is and how that number relates to it. Then try to maintain it within reason. Handy for wind resistance, it teaches me to back off a little when conditions are against me.
