Gas Mileage Towing

Gas Mileage Towing
Tow vehicle: 2015 F350 DRW 4x4 Stock 6.7L
Toy Hauler: 2017 XLR Thunderbolt 422AMP 16.4k dry ~21k loaded
I see an average mileage of 7.6-7.9mpg while towing. Seems about the same whether I'm going over the mountains or on flatlands to the coast. I had a F250 that I used ONCE to pull this TY and mileage was about the same.
Curious to see what others are getting pulling these heavy TYs.

I've got a 2016 F350 DRW, CC, 8' bed, 4x4, 6.7 that is stock, but tow a trailer that is right at 13K loaded. I normally tow it at 65-67 mph and live in E. TN (so some mountains) and I usually end up at about 9.5 on average. Trailer is a tow behind and about 12'6" tall. Oh, and a 3.73 rear end.

Running 65-70 MPH, I got between 9.5 and 9.8 when pulling my 41 foot Raptor.
That was last year on a 7000 mile road trip, mostly Rocky Mountain and Great Plains states, along with some Dakotas, Minnesota, amd Wisconsin.
Around here locally (northern AZ, southern NV and UT) generally 150 miles or less, stop n go thru towns, etc, I am getting 9.3 to 9.5.
2016 F350 dually with 3.73 gears.
Not complaining.

You did notice there's only one gas engine in the comments so far right? He's just bustin them a bit for ya..
Maybe "fuel mileage" would have worked better? Or go to the 6.2 section for the gassers if it is "gas" mileage you're after.

OK, I'll go post in the 6.2L forum : What king of "gas mileage" are you guys getting by putting by putting "gas" in your 6.7L diesel engines? Stupid is as stupid does...GEEZ
Common sense is not very common anymore and as I get older I'm not sure if there is more stupid around or if I just notice it more.
