When we towed before settling down - I'd get about 9-10 mpg.
First camper was a Rockwood 2605, second was a Wildwood 29FKSS. So about 2000 lbs difference between the two. Didn't matter much to the truck, as some have stated that's a whole lot of frontal area. TV was a 2003 Dodge 2500 5.7 Hemi.
New TV to just tow the pontoon is 2009 F-150 with a 4.6. One day last week I took my utility trailer to Menards and filled it with some 3/4 green treated plywood plus about 25 landscape timbers with a couple of patio blocks. Weighed probably 2000 lbs and I got 14 mpg towing @ 65. I'm not sure if that is really meaningful since that's not much weight.
Frankly, when gas was over $4 a gallon that was about the only time I was moderately concerned about my mileage when towing.
