Eco Mode Question

I have 2012 Ram and I have the 6 speed auto. I run it in 6 and not D so to keep the Eco Mode turned off. I actually believe it performs better and actually get a mile or two more per gallon of gas running it this way. It just seems to me that the engine isn't workingas hard having all 8 cylinders pulling the truck along as opposed to 4 cylinders trying to do it.

I have a 15 Express Crew, and my Eco comes on all the time, slight uphill, down, flat, windy, ect. When I have cruise on at 120kph (75mph) it comes on the most, Constant on flat/down and some slight hills. Even when it does kick off it doesnt seem to go about 1500rpm to often except steeper hills.

I think it depends on the final gear ratio related to the power band of the engine. There seems to be a range from 66-ish to 75-ish where I seem to get worse milage than just below or just above that range. I'm guessing RPMs.
I do enjoy getting 22 - 23 MPG on 1,000 mile trips. '09 Quad TRX 2wd
