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

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
