I'll agree with the mileage. My '95 Cummins Ram with auto/3.55 hovered around 20mpg highway if I kept the speed limit. Where it really shined was in town. It gave 18.5~ where the Hemi gave 14~. The '95 was only rated to tow 6500 lbs. Anyone around long enough might remember the Trailer Life tow down in '94. The Cummins, PSD and GM 6.5 towed 7k lb TT's. 40-45 up the grades balls out. The Dodge V10, GM 454 and Ford 460 towed 12k lb 5th wheels and ran faster up the grades. It wasn't until a few years ago that diesels had the power advantage over gas in stock form. Until then, they had fuel efficiency and longevity. Not too sure they even have that anymore.
