Mine is a manual, I average around 22 MPG (or less) but I think for purely highway travels I'm up in the upper 20s.
For a DD, it would be bit loud for me, but I'm old and intolerant.

I would think so. Fairly certain that 1-3 in the DCT are shorter, but by 6th they are dead even. The 7th gear is longer than our 6th, therefore lower revs. If I recall correctly, it's not a drastic RPM drop on the highway, but it is something.
