My 91Ram D250 2wd 3/4ton weighting 5500lbs has been averaging 24mpg ×2.75t =66MPGT
A 2017 Prius empty is 3080lbs and epa 53 mpg =81.62mpgt
Formula
Weight (in tons )x mpg =MPGT


Definetely something I never considered.

weight=7640+me+gear =7945ish lb*17.7mpg=3.973T=70.6mpgt

Hoping with approaching mods to be around 20-21mpg soon though. for a 1999 f250 4x4 that's not bad in my book.
