Not a lot of data yet for the new Ram CTD 2500, but after ~1000 miles am getting 11.2 mpgUS with upto 8500# sail/trailer. That's mostly rural hilly roads, max 65 mph. Expect it to improve as the engine loosens up, and we spend more time on the highways.
The old EcoBoost averaged ~10.0 mpgUS towing the same trailer, same speeds, on Reg gas, and ~10.4 mpgUS on Premium, over 24K miles.
I too have a 2016 Ram Cummins TD. I am now getting between 13 and 15 towing my 33 foot trailer all loaded. and about 22-25MPG not towing.

Note: I bought my new truck on the road in Oregon while on the way to Alaska. It has been towing from day one. And this is what the Cummins likes to do...work. (and what the owners manual suggests for break-in.
