Dually MPG figures
 
Curious what others are getting for MPG out of their DUALLY tow rigs. Diesel or gas. Please post engine/gearing combo, and mpg figures empty and towing, and what you're towing. Please post honest and consistant numbers. Not "well one time with a tailwind, down hill, coasting I got xxx". The poll is for EMPTY hwy figures. Please vote and reply :cartman:

2012 Dodge 4door 6.7l auto 4x4 w/ 3.73 gears. Also consider it has a 100gal transfer tank that is usually full and another 200lb of chains and binders in the tool box.

Empty she averages 12.3mpg

Loaded(32' GN fifth wheel loaded with equipment average 18k lb total) 8.3mpg

Average speed 65mph but in the 46k miles I have driven it I have not noticed speed to change mileage as much as it did on my 5.9l. She is 100% stock as she is the company truck.

Wow.....seems like real world honest responses.....I really expected the guy with the F450 with 4:10s and bully dog chip, full intake/exhaust, 44 inch tires/20 inch lift kit to brag that he gets 23 mpg loaded and 33 mpg empty because its a Ford! :D
