bought new 15' 2500HD last August; now have 23000m, about 85% towing a 3 ton TT cross country. So far avg. mpg towing is about 12. Ranges from 10 to 17 depending on wind. Crossing the mtns. is not an issue; acutally get mileage above 13. It's the wind on the plains that knocks back the avg. The 30' trailer is 11' tall, and it's like towing vertical sheets of plywood down the road.
Am picking up a new fiver (5 ton) next month in WA. will keep posted what new mileage is. Trailer is taller, but has "aerodynamic" cap in front, whereas now I have a wall of fiberglass on my TT.
Diesel is awesome, as they say "you'll never go back"
