Best towing vehicles for best MPGs
What are some of the best current and past trucks/suv that allow for maximum MPGs when towing (for either smaller or larger TTs)?

Most people quote the mileage they get on a flat stretch of road or the average for an entire trip.
My average towing mileage for an entire 6000 mile trip from IN to MT was 9.9 mpg.
The best tank full I have ever gotten was 11.7 mpg; it must have been downhill with a heck of a tail wind.
The worse tank full I ever have gotten was 7.1 mpg bucking a nasty head and cross wind all day.
The newer TVs with their wiz-bang electronic lets you reset after each fill up, which the DW record in her journal.
I also track total trip mileage which include both towing and non-towing combined.
So, when I plan a trip I figure 10 mpg: if I get 10+ yippy, of I get 8 – 9 mpg Oh well.
Gas is generally low on my priorities, otherwise would have bought a bigger PUP.
