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)?

To expand on my previous post:
I can afford 5 MPG, or worse. Even at twice the price of today. That doesn't mean I find it acceptable. I use MPG to help me decide on an RV. I don't think I'm the only one. Everything isn't about money. Sometimes it's just personal preference.
I can see the freedom that comes from not caring about MPG. But when someone else cares, it's not necessarily about the cost.
It takes the same amount of energy to move a load no matter what is providing the locomotion.
Consider that towing the TT is the smallest percentage of the experience. Most of your time will be living in it. So towing a teardrop will give you great MPGs, but the living in it part leaves a lot to be desired.
I have owned 3 TTs now, each one larger than the one before it. They all looked the same in the mirror when I was towing them.. But the biggest one that I now have is the best when I arrive at camp.
Whenever someone says, it is not about the cost....That is exactly what it is about
