I appreciate knowing my fuel ecnomy but after the 3rd year I don't feel a need to track it since I now know, towing and not. It is simple economics to know what it is.
Boats get even worse "mileage" but the fuel is still about the least expensive aspect of ownership. RV's are Boats with Wheels.
With any machine, it's good to have a baseline figure. Our first C had a carburetor and usually about 7 mpg. One trip looked more like 4, and I found a blown power valve in the Motorcraft/Holley carb. I'd calculate, get 6.8, 7.3 etc etc but that 4 was far enough out of the ballpark to do some investigation.
