F-250 Towing Mileage Reduced by 25%
I took my 2015 F-250 4x4 6.2L V8 and trailer out for the first time this year. Truck has 15,200 miles on it and it is due for an oil change and tire rotation (right at the 5,000 mile mark). No check...

Update: Mileage seems to have "normalized". I either got a bad tank of gas, or the stations were still using Winter blend fuel in April.
I went Buffalo to Monroe Michigan and got 7.9 MPG and then back (tailwind) and got 8.5. This is closer to what I have been seeing.
I met a guy at the campground that that the exact same truck and trailer as me, same size family, etc and he was getting 11.5 MPG towing 8,000 lbs (6.2L gas engine).....not sure how he was accomplishing that.
