Holy crap, bud- that's amazing!
Our best ever is 16.5MPG doing 75mph with a stiff wind at our back, losing elevation. My truck would be confused if it saw 22.5mpg:owned:

That's awesome. I've hit an average of around 19.5mpg heading down the interstate. This Hemi gets better mileage than my 3.9L Dakota. But she had 200,000 miles on her and was getting tired, lol. That Dakota is was converted me to a Dodge guy though. That truck was amazing.

Oh YEAH! That is good millage. 18.3-19.3 is the best i have ever seen. I'm all stock except for a drop in Airaid performance air filter. I have 3.55 gears and use 89 octane gas. The 19.3 was going 65-70 and the 18.3 is more like 75-85.

That is really good, amazing actually.

The best I ever did was about 19.3 mpg. Keep in mind I haven't even broke 6000km yet or done my first oil change. Hoping it gets a bit better still.

That's definitely impressive. Is that from your calculations, or the truck's display? I've got no reason to think that its inaccurate, I'm just curious if anyone has noticed any discrepancy? Best I've been doing is 19.5 to 20 on mostly freeway, 55-65, with the 8spd and 3.21s. Still on my first oil, though, maybe I will improve so more......

I just made a 200 mile trip down the mass pike and Averaged just about 20 using hand calculation. That was averaging around 75 mph or so. I was actually pleasantly surprised and glad im not the only one!

Hot damn!! I just completed a trip to Dallas this weekend and was excited about my 19.2 mpg. That was with no load going 70 mph to conserve gas. Using your trip and truck as an example I need an intake and exhaust.

It should get a lot better. I think that's the worst I've heard on the interstate. With those numbers, I was thinking maybe you where going uphill.

Going the same speed I can manage a little over 17, and I'm just over 3100 miles.
