A few Chevy guys are convinced they get better mpg at 80 mph then they do at 60, again hard to swallow.
One thing to factor in would be a regen cycle. Some people say that will take their 18 mpg tank they were working on down to 14 mpg in just a few minutes.
Honestly I expected a little better from the Dodge. I wonder if a manual would have been better.

I just filled my 3500 4X4 last night after a trip over and back across Chinook Pass.
No coasting, driving 60~65 max. I got 22.1
That was an empty truck on M&S tires, no aero. It is consistent with what I got since the gear change.
With my 8500 pound 5th wheel gets 12 over the same route, maybe 12. something. I get 13 only on flatter routes.
