Sounds good to me for what they weigh & pull.

I added a XZT and took a 5 hour drive east on the pike and got 21.4 at average 78mph.

I just got home from the shop. Running from at around 11 Pm, 75 degrees, 70 MPH most of the way with some 65MPH stuff mixed in, no load, open bed, big sticks, Juice on 1x1, Cam, Vulcan Performance twins, 3.54 gear/ 265 tire I got 23.6.

Your mileage would be considered good by most. A different box may net another MPG.
