I stay in normal when ramping onto an Interstate and then shift to tow/haul when I am up to speed if I am not towing. I use it all the time if I am towing.
I have never used Tow/Haul without having a load. That includes a 2000 Chevy V6. Why reduce your MPG if you have no reason. If it is necessary you should use it to get the load going shifting out of Tow/Haul when you are up to speed.
