You MUST include the weight and configuration of the trailer.

26' TT 7000# got 7.5 mpg from SW Georgia down to Panama City Beach in my 2001 SC SB 4X4 3.73 LS w/305x70x16 tires. I will change out RP to 4.30's soon as transmission was hunting too much on the small grades

Over the last 350miles the truck has had a trailer on the back and the lightest was my old TT (5300lbs completely dry ready to sell) for a 40 mile spin. I also hauled my new travel trailor for 160 miles and the 2010 on a tiltbed equipmet trailer for an additional 150 miles. 40 miles with the 2020 were against a 30mph head wind and 80 miles with the new travel trailor were into a 10mph head wind. I drove between 70-75 and if the old girl needed 4k rpms to keep that speed on some of the hills that just what I did! The terrain was rolling hills with a few 1 mile long 6-8% grades. Over the last two tanks my average was 7.7mpg. Average weight per mile was 8300lbs. truck description is in sig.

No biggie... I could shave this thread, but it's not that important
I sometimes think I'm being as clear as humanely possible and then find I'm really clear as mud ...
