I have a 2013 screw with max tow and 20's. unloaded at 105kmh the best I've seen is an average of 11.2L, almost never drive it without pulling something so my average is always displaying about 17-18L. Don't really care because I love this thing for pulling so much...that's what I bought it for!

That all sounds about bang on accurate. But even towing, if you drive a little more granny, you can tow and average 14-15 l/100 if you care.

I first towed accelerated very normal, then held 100k speeds, and average 17L/100k,

The with similar loads accelerated very slow, always letting off the gas to make the truck shift a little early, (let off just beige truck would normally shift), then started seeing 14L/100k results.

Short trips seem to kill mileage too... My trans rarely gets to temp so the more I drive it the better it gets.

I got stock tires on mine here in BC and I couldn't get 21L/100km if I tried, roaring up the coquilhala doing 140km/h.

I get 14.5 to 15.5L/100k driving how I want, I bought the truck because I think it's fun to drive. I can get below 11L and 10L if I want... but might cause I line up of traffic behind me! Slow starts and coasting is key to good mileage.

It seems my friend at work gets easily 11L/100km with his 2011 XLT EcoBoost. I don't know maybe they were better then now they are detuned? He has the same wheel base and axle just a few less options.

Currently it's around -20c here and I am at 17L/100km and gaining. I have a 10km all highway drive to work every day and set cruse at 100kph. Warm garage in the morning and plugged in for the drive home. Not too pleased at the moment but the $0.734 gas price offsets it a bit.

Im in the same boat brother, just north of Ottawa, we have been around -25 the last month or so. Im only driving around 20km a day, city driving, stop and go traffic, in 4X4 sometimes because of the snow, and im sitting around 17L/100km. For just getting to temp(except the tranny) by the time i get to work, im thinking thats not back for these temps. Also i we are driving trucks with a boat load of power, cant complain you could be driving something embarassing like a sierra or ram....

What model of truck do you have that came with the smaller gas tank? mine is 135L

Mine is an '11, XLT
I think my next one will be the big tank. I have to fill up twice a week now.

^The 36 gal tank is extremely nice for towing!
