Weird but certainly possible... I used to have a 2005 Chevy 2500HD, 2WD regular cab work truck with 6.0 gas engine. I had a Maxidump insert installed. Great little landscaping truck but rarely saw over 12 mpg, usually less than 10. I had a 6x12 enclosed trailer that I took to California to pick up some furniture. On the way down, stuck in the right lane doing 55 most of the way, with a strong tailwind, got 15.9 mpg. Best mpg that truck ever got.
