I've a 07 KC 4x4 OR w/Tow LE. Highway driving I'm getting 16.5 - 17 using the same technique. Cruise control at just under 70, no stomping on the gas.

About 3 weeks ago, I drove up to the mountains. Started at sea level and climbed to 9,000' over 318 miles. Average mpg was 17.3. Coming back over the same distance, I couldn't believe it.....20 mpg on the computer and by checking via how much gas I replaced. I was at 225 miles when the needle was at half a tank. Strategy was cruise set at 68 mph the whole way, both ways.

The truck is so comfortable with a great sound system, taking 20 minutes longer to reach my destination didn't bother me.

Around home, it's 13 mpg. but I live in a hilly area.
