Highly possible. You have to look at the efficiency map for the engine. The same thing happens with my F350, it gets the same economy at 60 as it does at 70 because 70 in 6th is right in the middle of the efficiency map. At 60 it has to work harder to spool the turbo. On a long, unloaded trip I can crack 20 MPG
