Right now, on the highway, I'm getting between 18-19mpg. Easy ways to improve it? Clean air filter, good condition injectors, gearing, proper tire size, and most importantly... Driving style.

With a ZF 5 speed, 4.10's and 35" tires, I'm averaging 14.5 mpg with mostly highway driving, staying between 60-65 mph with some 6% grades.

I was getting 12 city and 17-20 highway with my 7.3 turbo, E4OD, 410s and metric 35s. Haven't driven it enough with the 6.9 to get an acurate millage since I got it tuned right. I'm hoping it will do better since I wasn't quite as aggresive with the timming and have less smoke when I snap throtle and on acceleration.
