A few years ago a friend and myself drove out to New Jersey from Iowa in an older Dodge Diesel, it had a 5 speed and a standard topper.
We had to make the trip in a weekend and drove it 75 mph most of the time. It averaged about 20mpg. I was impressed.

Yeah, the cummins in dodges are solid engines known for getting good mileage. I bet slowing down to 60 and doing some rack mods I could 25mpg. Then I'll have to make my goal 30
