Just for comparison, even though the computer drives me to distraction and I much prefer the old style mechanical pump, my 2003 Sprinter low height st'd wheelbase loaded with about 750# of tools gets 28MPG as long as I keep it under 70 mph.
Check this site out from Diesel Power Magazine about a 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 Dualie that is getting 30 mpg. The truck only used about $10.00 in parts so I am inclined to believe it. Basically, it is all about aerodynamics. Makes me want to invest in some duct tape so i can start taping up a lot of stuff.
