Since towing my truck to College Station, I towed a 6x12 trailer (hatch up, 33% grill block, empty trailer) back to Houston fer a load up. MPGs hit an all time low...an indicated 13.5mpg. At least I got 16.6mpg coming back up with the trailer and truck fully loaded. Didn't git a chance to do my measurements as I was pretty tired from all the driving and loading.
