And WHY do you 'think' you need cetane booster/additive?

I'm just asking. I don't use it now and was wondering if anyone did and if so does it help with mileage. I got a buddy that swears by it but he drives a Duramax.

Awe they need all the help they can get. ;)

Thanks but I'm not wanting this to turn into a brand war. Go troll somewhere else.

I guess you did not see the "wink" it was a kidding statement. Maybe you should lighten up a bit. The emicons are there for a reason. If you want to know if RAM/Cummins was not available I would be driving a GM truck!!!

And if I did not make my self clear that there was no "TROLLING" then sorry, feel free to block me.

Yup.

I've seen 22 on the highway empty at 68 MPH without the camper but averaging #9000 GVWR.

Around town it's 17.5 steady.

Towing depends on where we go - a fair average of all would be 10 MPG.

Boy 10-11 MPG sounds great to me :W

My 2016 Ram dually has 4:10's and Aisin tranny. I get 15-16 mpg empty and 8-10 mpg towing my 19K lb. fiver. Added 50 gallon aux fuel tank in the bed and have extended my towing range to roughly 700-750 miles. That is if the average is 10 mpg. Total fuel now is 82 gallons.

I get a bit better than 17 in my standard daily driving cycle, which is city/suburban with lots of stoplights but also some stretches where I can cruise a bit. My commute is only 5.5 miles, though, so it's not ideal for mileage. I think it does very well under the circumstances, and it has improved with some miles compared to new.

I just did a 650 mile trip lightly loaded with lots of mountains (good and bad), but also with speeds rarely in excess of 65, and I got 22.4 mpg. I was very pleased with that.

Freeway tends to vary a lot depending on temperature, wind and speed. I've gotten as good as 20 and as bad as 13, so it can really vary.

I haven't towed the fifth wheel enough yet to have that mileage dialed in. Give me a week on that.

Five hundred miles yesterday , at 68 MPH , interstate constant , not towing nuttin , got 20.1 miles per gallon by manual count . 2014 Ram 2500 , 4x4 , CTD , topper is 12 inches taller than cab .
