Few times I was driving 40 mph highway after reset and the mpg was even better than 14 mpg with camper, or close to 30mpg empty.
Agree that it’s possible to do short stretches with extremely high mileage. As Grit dog suggests, no way a gasoline engine did 14 mpg at interstate speeds with TC across the country. You’d be lucky to get that mpg without the TC with a 250/2500 or larger truck. Possible that a lie-a-meter was off that much though.
