To be perfectly honest I haven't tracked it accurately for a long time now. My towing mileage is about 11 mpg on the last trip to CA in July. Commuting I get about 16.
This particular truck really saw only vacation use until 3 years ago, when I started to daily drive it to work 50 miles each way. It still gets at least a half dozen race hauls to WA, OR and CA each year. If you can afford to race at all, you just can't afford to get anal about the gas bills! The tremendous torque at very low revs, and the hill-holder function in cruise (up hill and down) are the best things about the combination of the 8.1 liter and Allison trans. I always have to remind myself there's about 5 tons back there! It is 2WD, extended cab, 2500 HD.
