Your milage will depend on type of tranny, and axle ratio. With a ZF5 manual tranny 3:55 rear end you could possibly reach 15/20 mpg but that would be about the best I would expect.
The actual for a dually would probably be a somewhat less, especially if you drive in a mountainous area like BC.
On the flats 15/20 sounds doable with a standard tranny and 3:55 rear end.
If you got an automatic, knock off 1 to 2 mpg.

Diesel MPG is very dependant on terrain, elevation, load and the biggy is driving style.
Two identically equipped trucks in the same area with two different drivers, one drives a little slower, takes off a little slower and lets off the throttle a lot earlier when coming to a stop, against a driver that is either wide open or on the brakes hard can easily have a 50% difference in MPG.
Truck equipment is only a small part of the MPG equation.

I driven all sorts of terrian.....diesel engines are [were?] the engine of choice, being high tourqe, with good fuel economy...ask an independent truck driver of what he thinks the current prices at the pumps!
Getting good MPG's [IDI] is no different than any other engine...let it breathe...air intake mods & free flowing exhaust!
The biggest increase in Fuel economy is in your right foot....keeping RPM's under 2300 will give the best Fuel economy!
