Gas Mileage for GMC 1500/2500 with Vortec Max 6000?

What are kind of gas mileage are you guys getting with a Chevy/GMC 1500/2500 4x4 crew cab with the Vortec Max 6000 (the 345 HP 6000 not the 300 HP 6000)

Thank You Kirk

the 345 horse (LQ9) is only available on half ton models. I am in the 14 mpg club around town with mine.... a mild right foot. Dont ask what the mpg's are pulling the boat.
