While I don't have the 6L T/D, My 99 F350 with the 7.3 l Powerstroke/AT, consistntly gets 19-20 mpg at 2000 rpm (67 mph) with the A/C off and unloaded. Loaded pulling at 20 ft goose neck at with a combined gross weight of 19000 lbsover montainous terrain in western Montana and, Idaho and Washington, I averaged 12-14 mpg at 1900 rpm (about 60 mph)with A/C off. Anybody that doesn't believe that a diesel engine is more thermally efficient than a gas engine is defying physics.
