When I travel from Wisconsin to Tennessee, I will normally see 22-23 mpgs. I also am running 3.55's for gears. So if you are getting those numbers; like above you are doing pretty darn good!

What are your driving habits like? Tire size? lifted? Flatbed? synthetic fluids?

i live up in the north east. i have a 2002 ho 6speed manual ecsb with 4.10s and 4x4, all the mods in my signature. in winter i get 16mpg consistently, i have been getting way better now thats it been warm for a few weeks up here. i have been hitting 16.5 but i have been towing the goose neck trailer alot. last week i towed over 200 miles through the hills and naples with the goose neck loaded up with prob about 5 to 6k on it. and i still got 16.5. my fuel sender is shot and i havent put the new one in yet so i cautiously filled up when i hit 350 miles and i didnt believe it only took 21 gallons. i was in shock! so i put another gallon in it because i thought it might have been a big bubble in the tank. filled it till i could visually see standing fuel in the fuel neck. i was very impressed with that. wonder what i can do unloaded now.
