      I know you asked a specific question but I will tell you that I am getting 12.5 mpg mixed driving on a 2WD 8.1L 3/4 Ton Suburban with 3.73. I got 11 towing about 15 miles total on Sunday. The 6.0L AWD Denali will probably get 1 or 2 better is my guess.

            2001 duramax, best 21mpg dead heading 75mph+ 330 miles, worst 12mpg. towing 75mph+ same distance.
            2006 C6 ZO6, Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga, 210 miles, 26mpg, 2hrs. 5minutes Would have been quicker if it weren't for the CHP outside of Barstow. Thank you Valentine 1 radar detector.

                  Tried two different ECM programmers. Hypertech and Juice module. Both did make significant hp/torque gains. What really woke the engine up was the RBP exhaust.
                  The mpg did seem to get better but not much. It was more for the sheer thrill of killing imports at the line. Nothing like wacking a civic with a wing and butthole exhaust. Oh, did I mention filling their driverside windows with thick black soot
