Towing 7500 pounds 60 mph I get 15-16.
With a 9.5' cabover and towing 7500 pounds at 60 mph I get 10.5.
Mileage has been consistent for as long as I have owned the truck, not pinning the throttle to the floor every time I hit a hill. Other people driving my truck get ~2 mpg less than I do but are more aggressive.
