Just returned from a 30 day, 6000+ mile trip towing a loaded 177 (2940#) from MI to IL to IN to IO to NE to CO to UT to AZ and then returned home going thru CO to NE to SD to MN to WI and back to Michigan.  Used 87 octane (never more than 10% ethanol) and averaged 13.2 using the trailer towing mode.  Gas prices ranged from 2.79 in Iowa to 4.49 in Colorado and 4.19 in Arizona.

We have an F150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost motor and 10 speed tranny and we are in the same ball park as you are with regards to mileage. Truly a wonderful motor and transmission combo. Towing with that combo is stressless for both the driver and the truck.
