Yup! - You just have to find a level spot. ;-) Same reason airliners spend the fuel to climb so high - obviously different engines but the same principle.
If you look at the majority of the high mileage posts they are either XE non big tow lowlanders like me or the high desert dwellers (New Mexico, Colorado, etc). And it's not the aliens!! - they just slow you down as the are kind of viscous and will drag your mileage down more than jackalopes.
If I drove my truck down to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, there's a nice relatively level stretch once you are on the plateau up around 8,200 to 9,000 feet. Put my truck up there on a warm summer day and you'd be seeing me post about my 25 mpg Titan.
