This is very impressive, especially since the Ecodiesel is known to get at or above the EPA mpg rating.
This issue has been addressed too much already on this forum and many will flame away at my post, but I just prefer to be thankful that you can actually go out and purchase a new full size pickup that has an EPA highway rating of 29 mpg. Just a few years ago, the EPA highway rating on a Scion xB was 28 mpg (www.fueleconomy.gov in case you don't believe me). Yes, the diesel option is costly, but so is getting leather, navigation, sunroof, etc.
I personally don't like diesels, but I am glad that people have all of the choices that are currently available.
