A few things .....

Is the truck an auto or manual tranny? (manuals seem to get better milage)

Do you have the stock size tires installed? If no, your speedo/odometer is
probably off a few.

I have gotten as high as 25mpg on the highway in my 4Runner, and I am
running 33s (milage calculated by GPS).

Welcome to the list!
