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.

I'm the same way, the wife checked the mpg in the HHR we had but I've never checked. Rode Honda Goldwings for 200,000 miles, people would ask what kind of mileage I got with it. Told them I don't know, never have checked it.
