If your referring to me, I averaged around 12 going out and 11 coming back. 6 spd manual trans. I rather deal with replacing a clutch than replacing or rebuilding a 6 spd auto down the road, plus whats a diesel if you can't shift it??? The truck only get a little over 14 empty so I thought that was pretty good considering the weight I was pulling.
Again, like all new diesels, because of all the emission BS, their mileage blows in stock form. From what I've read, seen, and heard, just a DPF and EGR delete with a reprogram will gain around 5-8mpg depending on who you believe and supposably wakes these motors up. I'll take 19-23 mpg on a 8000# truck. My 1500 gas never got better than 17 on the highway and around 14 in mixed driving.
