Location: Lake Elmo, MN
Here are details from my trip (Round trip).
Vehicle: 2014 Ford F150 Supercrew with 3.5 Ecoboost 4WD. (2WD mode 100%)
Boat: 2009 Ranger 620vs with 250 Merc ProXS and RangerTrail tandem trailer (Maxxis 8008 tires).
Load: Boat 1/2 full fuel (25 gals = 150 pounds) + 4 Odyssey Batteries (about 320lbs) and average amount of fishing gear
Weather: Good...no rain.
Obeyed as close as possible all speed limits

TRIP COMPUTER POSTED RESULTS
765.1 miles door to door.
56.3 gallons of fuel burned
Avg MPG 13.5
Driving time 14 hrs 46 min.

That is REAL data over a trip that spanned interstates, small towns, state highways, and construction delays.
My old 5.4 Liter V8 got 11.1 so a small incremental improvement.
