Mileage and gas: I have a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado with a 5.3 in it, on the interstate, 21 mpg. I hooked my two wheel trailer on it with a full size bed and mattress in the trailer.

I checked it coming down a mountain a few months ago, I had about 13mpg with the trailer. I know about what I will get and at what speeds.
