I don't know, if he's really getting 28 highway there aren't a lot of other vehicles that can comfortably carry a family of 5 and return that kind of fuel economy. I happened to see one of my cousins last weekend and she has a new hybrid Highlander, which you'd think would be the gold standard for that scenario, and she told me it gets around 28 highway.
I personally wouldn't buy an EcoDiesel due to the potential for a major injection pump issue, but they get very impressive mileage.
Drove to New Orleans with the Family and two friends of the kids in my truck and the wife's 200 Limited at the time. Our average speed was 77 mph. On the trip down the truck made 27.8 average trip back still running 77 mph average the truck made 27.3. This was without the GDE tune. She has made this mileage since day one and towing our boat she returns 19 running 65. The 200 averaged 30/29 for the new Orleans trip. Her 2015 300 S made 28 average in December going to Coco Beach but I was running a lot faster than 77 mph also. :W
I'm guessing by your last statement you wouldn't own anything diesel? Well other than the Ram Cummins with the CP3 pump than?

That's what I drive...a Ram with a Cummins.
