Is this mileage for real? (and mileage questions)

My father pointed me to this post on the DOC's message board:
http://www.durangoclub.com/cgi/ceilidh.cgi/ceilidh/?C3d1e0e145pRi-3728-1100-30.htm
. Long story short, Ram diesel, 30MPG at 45MPH. Is this for real?

He also noted 1MPG picked up after putting on a hard tonneau. I'll be
getting a tonneau real soon (found out I'll be getting a little bonus
the end of the month). At what point does the law of diminishing
returns kick in? I've seen a nice boost in mileage with my QuickD
intake, and the tonneau may give me some more. But I know it has to
stop at some point. How much can I realistically expect out of a
318/auto/4x4/3.55 - and we're talking headers, QuickD intake & TB,
tonneau, and catback (those are all the mileage-improving mods I can
think of)? Adding up the gains reported from each individual mod, I'd
get over 20 MPG after installing them all, but that isn't realistic, is
it?
