Sounds good to me. I am lucky if I get 17 MPG with city driving. I try to shift at lower RPM's but I have the urge for the surge and my truck seems to pull hardest at around 2000 RPM's

18 mpg is really good towing any weight, especialy 6k. then half of your miles was city? thats really good.

nothing wrong with that, fuel costs will eventually get to everyone...
i try to stick to 65 or 70 tops on the highway, 70 is 2000 for me, my optimum is 55, thats 1500
