If you are expecting 12mpg i think this is very optimistic. We range between 8 an 10 mpg with about 9 being average. Of course my rig is 12 years old but the same engines are still being used.

Yeah, I remember pulling an RV trailer that killed mileage for my Truck to 7-8 miles per gallon with a 26 gallon tank. Then I saw a sign in Oregon that said "next services 179 miles" and they were not joking either. Luckely I had a spare gas can with 5 gallons, just in case. Just made it with less than a 1/8th tank and the fuel lite was on.
