At least on the highway, looks like 50mpg @ 70mph, 43mpg @ 80mph. You still need to DWL, coast when you can, and drive without friction brakes around town.

That's what a Cd of 0.26 and an efficient engine buy you. Now add some wheel skirts and a grille block, and you're good to cruise as fast as you can get away with.

I think the OP has a long way to go to hit 43@80 in his truck, and would probably be well advised to keep his speed in check for now.
