If you are regularity getting 22.7 MPG in any 6.7 diesel you are very far out of the norm. You either have a very special, almost one of a kind, truck, or you drive very conservatively.

If it is the former, I’d keep that truck for a long time. If it the latter, you would likely get 35-40 mpg in a 3.0 diesel.

I agree. Although when most people say they get ___ on the highway, they mean what their computers instant read out states as they are going down the highway and not end of tank hand calculated numbers. I can easily get this going down the highway at 70 mph on a flat surface, but that does not mean it is a true number I would tell everyone I get. I prefer quoting real world hand calculated numbers.

Besides, every vehicle I have ever owned has had the computers mileage at the end of every tank 1-3 mpg higher than what my hand calculated numbers have been. The only time it is really close is if I am on a long trip with few starts/stops, but the more I start/stop the truck the greater the difference between hand calculated and the computer mileage becomes.
