I have a dodge diesel & my son does also. I get 16 to 22 mpg depending on
type of driving and time of year. My son gets even better, newer model.
Hauling... the lowest I've ever gotten was 13 mpg, this is my heavy fifth
wheel camp trail. Pulling the 3 horse slant it does a bit better than 13
mpg. I'm very happy with my diesel, gets as good or better mileage than my
little nissan truck. I didn't want to get 7 mpg, so I went diesel and
haven't regretted it once since. I enter every tank into a log so this isn't
just me having a selective memory!  Cheryl
