We have compared notes, he mentions getting low 10-12 mpg around town driving, and high teens highway driving..
I have hand calculated the mpg of my diesel...usually see 18 mpg around town mileage, and have hit as high as 22 mpg highway if I keep my foot out of it. Towing I get between 12-15 (26 Box trailer loaded with racecar and attendant crap)
My brother doesn't use his truck for towing, so cant report that info..

Thanks for that Tim. That's the kind of info I'm looking for. Hard to beat a direct comparison like that. Anymore anecdotes out there?
