    Towing my Cherokee 27DBH at 70mph I get 8-9mpg. I do notice better performance and milage with premium fuel.

    Riding in a 7.3 across country sounds like a torture compared to the quiet cabin and comfort of the Tundra. I'll give up 2 mpg to not drive a ratty old Ford .

    Towing a KZ Sportsmen 19BHS Travel Trailer I get 9 - 11 mpg depending on hills or not. Its about what my 2008 MDX got, but I am not burning premium fuel and I actually have the ability to pass slower vehicles on the highway without going to 4th
