What gas mileage are you getting towing and how much weight are you pulling?

I will only be pulling about 3,000 pounds at 60-65 mph, usually on fairly level roads. What can I expect?
You should easily get your wished for 12-13, if not better. I towed my 6x12 enclosed trailer to California a couple of years ago with my gaz-guzzling 2500HD. The trailer was lightly loaded (maybe 2200 pounds) but has the aerodynamics of a brick. Running about 60 mph I averaged 12.5 for the trip, up and down the Siskiyous and the Grapevine. With a tailwind I averaged almost 15 on 1 fillup. A 5.7 Tundra should do better, the challenge will be keeping your speed down with that light little trailer! :)
