That is good MPG for that speed and climb.
But, keep in mind that the readout on the dash, which I call the Lie-o-Meter, isn't very accurate. It varies by the truck, but most on here seem to find the LoM to be optimistic. As an example, on my recent 2000 mile trip pulling a boat the readout was off .7 MPG, or 6%.
And, it varies by the MPG I am getting. Up at 18 MPG it is still off 6%, but that is more like 1.1 MPG. In other words, hand-calculating it is the only way to know.
