Go for it, man! I think you should be able to do it. I've recently broken into the 30's with my Cummins. Hopefully I can keep it there. There's a few other guys on here that have 3/4 & 1 ton diesel trucks that regularly run tanks in the mid and high 20's. I find it wonderfully amusing that some of us are getting mileage that we're only "supposed" to get with compact cars!

Is it a manual or automatic? It'll be easier to do if you have a manual.
