Towing with new truck mpg

I had my first towing experience with the new TV. It is a 2016 Silverado 2500HD Duramax

Towing was a pleasure and since I have to break it in I am limited to 50mph for the first 500 miles. I had to the TT to the dealer for some body repair from tree crew truck.

Towing was about 40 miles US 4 (2 lane rd with lots of speed limit changes) then 60 miles of I89 interstate. Set cruise control to 50mph. For 100 miles I ended up with 13 mpg per the trip odometer.

TT did not have the canned goods, other dry foods, refrigerator not full, no clothes, no bikes, but other items in like the Coleman roadtrip grill, chairs, 2 full 30gal propane tanks.

Not too bad.
