He said he did keep it under 2000 rpm.
My Hemi 4x4 (with 4.1 gears no less) gets over 18 mpg running 65 mph in the mountains of Western Montana.
See this is why I am hesitant to get the cummins. I see so many claims on the diesel pages but then when I drank the cool aid and bought a Duramax I never saw even 18 mpg empty or better then 12mpg with a big slide in camper. It was so bad around town both MPG and having a crew cab long bed that it sat most of the year unless we were using it on vacation. My Hemi is nice all year long although I still have kept my Forester and use it most days because I don't know if I will buy a 2500 pickup again. Ugh. Maybe I will ask the lot if I can take the Ram I am looking at for a whole day and do some MPG testing with it.
