We have two tandem grain trucks one is a cab over White with a 230 I6 non-turbo Cummins that gets 4 mpg at 60k and the other is an '83 Topkick with the two stroke 6-71 238 horse turboed and obviously blown (seeing as it is a two stroke) Detroit that gets 6 mpg grossing 58k. This is from field to home and home to elevator which most is stop and go stop and go. Now I do know from all the fellas at the elevators that the tractor trailers nearing a for sure ticket weight of 100k+ are getting between 4 and 9 mpg... depending on truck and route and driver. So 15 seems a bit high to me.
