Can we get a list going of real world MPG with your rig?

If I was to average out the MPG in my '92 Mitsu, I would say it gets around 11 MPG, with or without something dragging along behind it. It doesn't seem to care if anything is back there or not. Winter or summer. I've owned it since 1998. I do figure in the speedometer and odometer corrections. What else do you have to do as you race along the motorways? I've gotten better and I have done worse...

MPG

Just returned from a 18 week 17,000 mi trip. 2007 fg140 stock size tires and rims, 15,000 pounds fully loaded. 23 states including 6 Canadian. Mostly paved back roads, some dirt. MPG for entire trip was a average of 11MPG.

20 mpg is looking more and more out of reach for me or any of us for that matter. After some more digging and input from others, I am going with 4.10 gears and hoping for 15mpg.

i have a "89" isuzu FTS 700, 6bg1 non-turbo engine with 385/65/22.5 wheels and weighing in just over 7T cruising between 80-90km/hr, the best I've done is around 20L/100kms and the worst was 30L/100kms so far, all depends on terrain (hilly or not ), wind and heat.

No idea what the gearing is.
The particulate filter has been removed and power boosted by 20%
'streamlined' camper body behind the driving cab helps, as does a tailwind.
95kmh highway cruise = 16L/100km
