What's you're real world MPG (USA)

So I have had some interesting variations in my mileage over the course of the past year and a half of ownership. When I first got my Grenny (say the first 6 months) I would average somewhere around 14.5 MPG. Then when I mounted my 2 Jerry cans on the Bison Gear molle panel (drivers side rear window) my mileage dropped significantly. For the next several months I dropped into the high 12 MPG - low 13 MPG. This seemed awfully dramatic but I chalked it up to the weight and change in aerodynamics.

When winter hit I moved the Jerry Cans into the rear Cargo area. The mileage picked up a bit but more in the high 13 to low 14 MPG. as we moved out of winter and into mid spring I remounted the Jerry Cans to the molle panel. Interestingly enough my gas mileage has returned to the mid 14 MPG territory and in some cases into the 15 MPG.

*All surface road travels with roughly 80% highway at high speeds between 75-80 MPH
**I travel for work and the Grenny is my daily driver. I am in some remote areas (Upstate NY, VT, ME, NH) and there are times where gas stations are few and far between.
 
To add to that, I see no real significant difference whether I have my RTT on or not. And It's a Roam Vagabond, so not a little hard shell. I just chalk it up to these things being rolling bricks and enlarging the brick doesn't matter much.

That just isn't possible unless you were going downhill with a tailwind.
It was a 2 way trip on a UK motorway. I did a 2 way trip over the pennies on UK motorway, so up hill and down each way and it showed 30mpg average. That was around 200 miles.
Tyres are 40psi
I've always been good at getting high mpg.
