For comparison purposes, I tow a 2720 with a Honda Ridgeline. On my one and only (so far) trip, I got about 16 mpg while towing the TM. I towed mostly at 60 mph. To put it in perspective, without towing I usually get about 16 mpg in city driving and 21 mpg on the highway - note that my highway driving is usually about 70 mph. So, at least for me a good rule of thumb is that I will get my usual city mpgs while towing on the highway ( I am sure my relatively slow tow speed kept the towing mpg as high as they were).
