Happy with Fuel Mileage So Far

I filled up my tank last night. This last tank had a lot of in town driving with the A/C on, and a few occasions of vigorous acceleration through the gears. Still holding at about 20MPG. This is a little surprising to me since I rarely got better the 15MPG in town with my old 1988 TC that I bought new. Mileage date are posted here on Fuelly.com:

So do you have the uber rare 98 12valve CTD with a stick or the 24 valve first year, VP44 failing setup?

If you do have a 12V and you have quad doors, and short box. Keep that truck forever...will it to your children. Its the turboford of diesel's.

I have the 12 valve Cummings engine with the Bosch P7100 mechanical injector pump. Don't drive it much anymore, but I don't have any intention of selling it anytime soon.

Not yet, but it's something I want to do soon but still have work to do on the TC before I can get to the truck.
