towing mileage of trucks
Does anyone have a range of MPG for a F-450 dragging a 18,000- 21,000 5er? is it much different from Ram 3500?

I've never been able to figure out why it's so hard for the mfrs not to use a "net fuel" type mileage readout. I mean, it's pretty easy to measure fluid flow in a pipe; you've got fuel going to the engine and excess fuel returning to the tank. Net the in and out fuel and divide by the distance. D@mn simple, if you ask me and, basically what you do with a hand-calc.

The concept of measuring fuel economy is simole .... that's not the problem. You can buy fuel flow meters that will accurately measure and calculate fuel economy but the meters can't be that simple. They are certainly not cheap. How many people would be willing to pay an extra $1000 to have an accurate mpg readout? I think I know the answer to that question.
