I get right at 12.5 mpg out of the K10. That's on the highway in the left lane with not much else getting around me. That's a 350 with an edelbrock performer intake, comp cams roller tip rockers, comp cams off road cam, flex a lite 295 electric fans and the AC blowing on high! The motor is backed up with a 3 speed manual and 3.08 gears in the diffs. Tires are 33x12.50 Mickey Thompson Claws mounted on Mickey Thompson Challenger forged rims. I think the aggressive tread is probably costing me some MPG but hell they look great when it's sitting still.
