Mileage Question

I have a 2008 Expedition EL 4x4 with 54,700 miles on it. I track all of the mileage for the vehicle (number cruncher by trade). The vehicle has the stock Pirelli tires and has had regular maintenance done since purchase. Combined city/highway mpg is 12.99. I have gotten as high as 18.25 mpg for a tank of gas on a trip running 70+.
A lot of my mileage is in town, living approximately 4 miles from work, and a lot of arround town travel hits the mpg pretty hard. There is also some towing of a 5,000 lb boat factored into the overall mpg. When towing, mileage drops to 9 - 11 mpg. On the other hand, I have gotten around 20 mpg for an extended highway run at around 60-65 mph (no boat attached).
I also compare the computer's mpg to the calculated mpg based on fillup data and it is .5 to 1 mpg high generally.
