If it makes you feel any better a 2 MPG gain over 7 MPG is a 28.5% improvement. OTOH, do not do the math to figure out how many towing miles until you've made up the cost premium.

25-30% is what I figured diesel gets over gas so it appears he has a good increase to me, but on the other hand he drives with a heavy foot at 75mph.
No need to figure out the math to figure out making up the cost difference. That's like figuring out the math for buying a top trim package, I bought mine more for less stressful towing and not for making up $$ at the pump. Some people like leather, air conditioned seats, and 15 cameras, I don't really care about those things but I like a comfortable towing experience. How to you put a price creature comforts? I paid a lot less for my truck than a top trim package in a gasser. Their isn't a right or wrong way it's just what you prefer while staying within your budget.
