Well... I actually could not believe it either
I filled up when I left. I drove the 150 mile stretch to the gas station where I normally fuel up, and I put 6.12 gallons of gas in. I drove this stretch in the morning when it was cool... about 55 degrees. It was a nice morning, there was no wind, very few cars and very few hills. I set the cruise control, and I bet I only passed 1 car. I was on a secondary highway that for the most part is very smooth. It was a perfect drive, and one that never ever happens with me. I did not see that kind of mileage the rest of the trip. The rest of the trip was more in the range of 15 to 16 MPG. When I said I got about 8 MPG at 90 MPH, that was an average from what I read from the truck.
