That is pretty good mileage if that's your thing. I'm not a MPG guy. MPG is unimportant to me in a heavy duty truck.
I want the truck to get the job done MPG's are secondary. It's a truck not an economy car.
I prefer power over MPG's in a truck. Different strokes.

So you'd be happy getting 16mpg vs 18+mpg when both are equally capable?

Yes because I'm not tracking my MPG's. As long as the truck is performing as I expect I really don't care what MPG's are.
There is not enough dollar difference in the grand scheme of things 2 MPG's to matter.Over 1000 miles the difference is $65.00 or so.
If I want better MPG's I can simply slow down and drive gently.
I'm not interested in changing my driving style/approach either.
I want a TV that can tow a heavy trailer up a grade without a struggle or a lot of loud revving. MPG's are further down my list of concerns, nevertheless the OP's MPG numbers are impressive for a gasser. But they don't change my approach or opinion of what I want in a heavy duty truck. Given a choice I prefer more power vs. more MPG's.
