It all depends on how you drive. A 7.3 PS with 3.73 / 6 sp / single rear wheels
can get 10-12 pulling a 12k horse trailer at 70-80mph, 16-18 driving 70-80
unloaded, 18-20 at 65, and 23-24 at 55mph. Very few people with the same engine,
dual rear wheels and 4.10 axles have ever averaged 17 for a full tank of fuel.
Most of the people I know average 14-16 unloaded in F350 duallies, they'd be 
thrilled
to get 17, they probably could do it if they drove 55 like your friend does.
