I have seen city mpg as low as 13.8 mpg, which is what my wife's Tahoe, my GTO and my v8 2009 SRX frequently does/did.
At 78 mph it gets 23 mpg at best. Slow down to 68 mph and it will get 26/27 mpg. So 1-2 mpg better at the most on the hwy.
If they could pull off 28 highway that would be 4 more than the 4.3 Silverado. Pretty decent if they can do it and even more impressive if a 4WD model can achieve those numbers.
