Regen..Maybe it does work...My story

Ok..Today we took a 300 mile trip (150 mile each way)...First I put 75psi in the tires and drove 72 MPH which is like 1900 RPM (6.4/Auto/SWB/4X4/3.73)...

It got a WHOOPING 16.5 MPG and I was pretty excited...Well while we there visiting the grave sites (It was 95 degrees) I decided to leave my son in the truck with it running...

Well while idling the truck decided to go into regen and it did it for about an hour and then we drove to eat lunch in which the regen continued...

After lunch we came out and started the truck and it was out of regen...we went and topped off the tank and drove home...well on the way home I once agian drove 72MPH and HOLY CRAP I got 17.8 MPG on the way home...

Is it possible that in Regen the system "Cleaned" itself which in turn gave me an increase in MPG?

P.S. Last weekend I drove the truck to St. Louis and drove 80 to 85 MPH and only got 14.5 (Which was like 2300 to 2500 RPM)
