When I picked up my truck (used) I towed my car back on an 18' trailer and I got 11 mpg. That was from the Pittsburgh, PA area to Patterson, NY, doing 65 with CC on and in T/H mode.
When I got back I drove the truck around for a few weeks with no load, but short trips (10 miles one way, back and forth to work) in low temps and I got 11 mpg. I was a bit disappointed with that.
A month ago I got to drive a nice highway trip in 60-70 degree temps and I got about 16 mpg with CC set to 65.
I had hoped for better from the truck, but it beats the hell out of the 8 mpg max I got with my '87 454.
Of course it is nowhere close to the 40-56 mpg I get with my Passat.
