I'm still getting about 18+ on mine, i got better in the lower altitudes but what your hearing about putting miles on a cummins or diesel in general, is 20-30K... i mean LOTS of miles, just to get them BROKE IN.
So, the best way to get to the better mileage, is to load it up and find the biggest long hill and floor it... or drive it for 30 hours straight with as much load as you can get on it.
the mileage will get better 22+ depending on gears. i've heard of 25 and up... (dodgeforum) they have a brew of additives to get better mileage too... i havent tried it... i'm just happy to have the sacko' nutz and pulling power. pulling 18K and getting 15mpg over a 2400 mile trip. thats way better that 4mpg with a gasser, and smokin a tranny.
