Hi Dave... I just completed a 2000 mile trip, loaded moderately, pulling a Chevy Blazer (small, but framed SUV). The WorkHorse 8.1 trip computer reported an overall 7.0 mpg.

Nearly all of our travel was on interstates. For likely 80% of the total, I set the cruise control for the exact speed limit (65 mph or 70 mph). I have seen a 1 mpg improvement on the average by using cruise control & try to "never leave home without it on". Traveling faster than 70 mph kills the average in a heartbeat.
