Sudden Fuel Mileage Change?

Got a cherry 12K miles '08 F250 in a trade. Mileage was 9-13 mpg (city/hwy). Recently bought a boat (12K#) and towed it 1,200 miles across Alligator Alley a few times during the first week I owned it (mileage as low as 6.2 mpg). Recently dropped the trailer off to go to town and was shocked to see mileage change!

I see 14-16 mpg around town now and last night saw 21 mpg at 65 on the highway! What gives? Did I just seat the rings? Anyone ever experience this? Should I still consider the DPF delete?

Thanks for input...

Yes... For the love of god delete that thing. Save a low millage 6.4 the pain of dealing with regen for the rest of its life.
