99 ram 2500 2wd auto with 360 gas
around town lucky to get 12-13 mpg
towing loaded or empty 7-8
everyone i know with a 5.9 cummins
around town 19-20
towing (depending on wieght)14-15
i am looking at buying a diesel just have to find the right one. my ram has 129,000 miles. the weekend of nov. 9-11 i pulled a stock rubicon jeep to ure. to go 220 miles round trip it took a full tank of gas (34 gallon tank) and started burning oil (3 quarts) my way of looking at it is i can buy another gas truck and replace it in say 5 years or buy a diesel and keep it til the wheels fall off. just my opinion.
