Give it some time and keep your filters clean,etc.Use some cetane boosttoo,it can't hurt in moderation..I know it should get better as time goes by,mine did..It got a straight 16-17 at best stock....But after the tuner and exhaust were added,it got better as time went by..Keep in mind a lot of stuff affects mpg..Different Duramaxes have different comp ratios,different turbos,5 versus 6 speed transmissions,winter blended fuels,and really on and on....Tires also add to the equation,every movement the truck makes is through the tires too....Hope it picks up fer ya though!!
