As you should expect, it varies wildly with terrain and altitude, and that's why I avoid giving one single number to anyone. On our cross-country trips, we expect about 18 mpg in the midwest, which isn't far from our non-towing mileage. Running up and down on I-25 from Albuquerque to Denver, for example, we expect about 16. That road has some long climbs in places (Raton Pass, for example, or Castle Rock to Monument, CO), and some altitude in a lot of places. Naturally, snaking up I-70 west of Denver, it is much lower.
