Congratulations... 29.9 mpg has to be the highest i have ever heard of on the CTD... generally it is 17-20~21 mpg on the hiway depending on the mods.
I hope you are hand calculating those numbers and not counting on the lie-o-meter, it is usually off even on a stock truck.

The 29.9 was recorded off the truck computer, and while it is an accurate number, I was rolling down the road just after a full fill up and had the cruse already running when I hit the reset, just to see what kind of numbers I would get not having to deal with the acceleration to get on the freeway.

Alot has been said. Gas mileage is good/great, depends on how you drive, and maintenance upkeep.
Cruise control is your best friend!!

75 mph w/ ac running 18.9-20 both on flat surface
65 mph w/ ac running 17-19
75 mph w/ ac running 16.5-19 up and down hills
City
AC 12-16 no hurry
AC 10 in a hurry

When using cruise control ;What I noticed was , the truck kicks into a lower gear going down the hills. (to maintain the set speed ), I would /have hit the cancel button at the top of such hills, too create some cruising speed, then resume when back on level ground. You could pick up and xtra mile or two on a long trip I'm thinking.
