I most often use the truck for towing the 5th wheel. My best highway runs to Portland and back were in the mid-24s, but I have the 3.42 gear set also. typical mixed use commute is in the ~19s, mixed meaning stop and go for part of it in Seattle

Towing the trailer MPG is very much trip dependent. Mountains are going to get me 12, a run down I-5, 15-ish.
My DD is still the beetle in the mid 40s combined with the train and my bike.
