GMC2500hd

I am thinking of changing TV to the above title and was curious what kinda of gas mileage anyone pulling with one of these is getting when towing and not towing. Also let me know if your using gas or diesal.

So far our 2009 GMC 2500HD w/ duramax diesel averages 20-23 hwy mpg, but add the TT behind it & we average 10-15, a few more trips out will give us a better feel for mpg pulling the TT.

2012 2500 HD Duramax/Allison Z71 CC, get 22 mpg at interstate speeds unloaded, and when towing the 5th wheel, a little over 15,000 lbs, we get 9 to 13, give or take, depending on the terrain. Wouldn't even consider trying to tow this trailer without diesel.
