I've got 27mpg with mine, and 23-25mpg a bunch of times. It would probably do a lot better if I took out the 1,000rwhp (ok, 972), "dyno" injectors.
There was a dude who went by Crabelle over on Competitiondiesel.com that got 35mpg out of his 6bt, with a double overdrive, and a bunch of other stuff.
Anyways, neat build, mpg should get substantially better with a re-gear. Might want to try electric fans and a grille block too, they were worth a good 3mpg on a 97 Ram I used to have.
