My best tank has been 11.29! I religiously record everything I do to the PW...including gas fills!
True average has been 10.66!
Pulling my 34.5’ toyhauler, fully loaded H2O and my RZR...6.8!
Ouch!!!! I was following my boss in his CTD Megacab! Lots of hills, dirt roads in 4x4!
I love my PWAGON!

Cool link now if everyone would read it and stop all the peacocking over MPG.I find that either people exaggerate or are a victim of common core math when I see high mpg claims.
Look here and you can get an idea of real world, hand caculated (not lie-o-meter) mpgs. Most are averaging around 12 give or take and that is what I saw in mine..

I hand calculate my mpg’s all the time. Most are around 11.5-13 for normal dd’ing. Towing is much worse, and a long cruise trip might fetch me 14.5 or so, but never anymore than that.
And the computer readout is usually 1/2 to 1 mpg higher than true mpg.
That’s pretty amazing in a “Power Wagon”..............................My 2017 crew cab, 6'4" bed, bedliner, splash guards, bug guard, rocker panels painted, one bed-step, ram boxes full of tools, 4x4 eco-diesel consistently gets 23-34 mpg around town, 30 mpg at 55 mph, and on flat no wind interstate will get 27+mpg at 70 mph. That's why I bought the eco. (oh-and its rated for 1000 lb payload and 9600 lbs towing).
Are we still talking about Power Wagons in the Power Wagon section?
