X2 on the lucky to get 11 mpg.
I hauled two 5000# trailers, one with a 200 hp V6 and the other with a 356 hp EcoBoost. Both engines got 9 to 10 mpg. but it was all the 200 hp could do to get 65 mph on the flat and 55 mph on anything that resembled a hill.
I have not heard of too many gas engines getting more than about 10 mpg.
