Retired and loving it!
Idling around Yellowstone Park from site to site, hardly ever over 35 mpg for over 50 miles got me 28.4 mpg in my EB.....getting slowly up to speed, learning how and when to coast, and a light foot are critical to improving your gas mileage --- more than any mods you could do to the truck itself.

Inebriated 4 ur safety
I wish I can help you Jpuff, but I am not the best at getting great fuel mileage in my own truck. It's not that my truck cannot get great fuel mileage because it has when I drive correctly, it's just that I am not willing to drive like that because I like my power and to hear the turbos sing every chance I get. I only drive my truck on weekends so it's not a daily driver for me to care that much about fuel costs. Although I am getting slightly better average fuel mileage than you and I mine is leveled with plus size aggressive tires. My personal truck averages around 16 mpg combined and my work truck EB Scab 2wd 3.15 averages around 19 mpg combined each tank.
I would say engineermike's response would be the best to listen to. You would think that trying not to use your brakes and coast to a stop would be common sense and commonly used by everyone, but in reality a lot of people do the opposite to just hurry up and wait.

Wind is also a big factor. Here in Kansas, gusts are strong enough to make you think you hit the brakes. So I guess aerodynamics plays a huge role. Also, just accept the fact you have a truck.
