V6 Fuel Mileage?

[mouser830]

I have a 2006 V6, live in seattle WA US. I get 14-15 mpg all of the time no matter what I do. I could coast behind a truck and get 14-15 mpg. Is anyone getting better and do any of the service folks here have suggestions. My dealer just shrugs there shoulders and says it's normal.

If you want less, modify the engine. If you want more, sit behind bigger/taller trucks.

I just purchased a 2005 LR3 V8 with 10,080 miles last week and drove it from MN to CT. over 1,200 miles my highway milage with one passenger, on the interstate was almost 21 mpg at average speed of over 70 mph. I was VERY IMPRESSED. My limited time around town since then has seen the mpg plumit to the low teens.
