Purely from using the onboard comp and from memory so take this with a bucket of salt, but I get about 28 mpg around town, easily get 30-35mpg on long motorway trips and about 24mpg towing SWMBO's horse and trailer.
I've seen it down as low as 12mpg towing before but thankfully that was a one off.

I think I can see the problem here.
The guys getting 30+ are using cruise at 60mph.
I cant do that (seems like hard work mixing with trucks and slower cars) so I always end up at 80-90 mph.
As a result. my average over a few thousand miles is around 26 (on the trip computer thing)
Happy with that.

Once you are above 70MPH, MPG doesnt realy change that much as punching through the air with a shed on wheels, all the hard works has been done by then
