I got the teenager back into the box for now.

I was quite happy with 19 MPG out of my new/old 6500 pound Dodge diesel truck, till I heard that others were getting over 20 regularly.
I started having fun with power additions and the teenager in me escaped. I could not help myself; I had to "sample" the prodigious quantities of torque on a regular basis.
I took a road trip and some town driving on top, about 70/30, and got a solid 21!
I have high hopes of keeping it over 20. The teenager is learning some discipline.

You should keep a fuel log for your vehicles here on EM so you can show off and help track your progress.
