I filled up tonight before heading north tomorrow afternoon for the holiday.
1,197 miles, 134 gal = 8.93 mpg on this tank, that's 70% interstate at 70-72 mph, towing a car or boat except for about 250 miles, and includes 200+ miles with pretty stiff headwinds.
No fancy computer, this is based on the sight glass on my tank, I'm sure there is a few gallons of error, but still seems pretty good.
On flat land with no headwind and maybe a lighter foot, I think I could get 10 mpg.
