Default MPG's on 06' 5.9 stock?

I am really considering getting a 06' 4x4 long bed SRW 4-door. What should my mpg's be in a stock engine city, highway, and towing????

I would imaginethat it would be about 15-18 on the highway, 9-12 towing depending on the load.

My 06 averaged 16-17 in town and 21-22 on the highway with cruise set at 75. After 2k on the tach, its all downhill on mileage.

with 37's i get about 14-15 in town and 16-20 on the highway, but i've gotten as low as 10mpg on the interstate, but that was going against a 40mph head wind going 80 so i guess what can a guy expect I also have a few "mileage"adders, whether or not they do anything i don't know

I've seen best MPG of 22 with 4 adults in the cab & all our gear under the tonneau, staying under 70. Everyday driving gets about 18.5 & that's mixed highway & town with about an hour of 80+ mph mixed in there. Never seen everyday driving less than 18.
I get 15 loaded (towing around 6500 pounds) on the long haul.
FYI, these are hand calculated figures; the overhead LIES!
