Was reading a test report from a magazine the other day (Consumer Report??), where they gave the mileage while flogging various 1/2 tons on the test track. Just about all the high torque, gas models from the Big 3 (including the Ecoboost) got approx. 10 mpg. The Ram Ecodiesel got 15 mpg while being flogged on the same test track. It's hard to ignore that kind of mileage difference under extreme conditions like this.
In the real-world, I'd translate these results to mean the Ram Ecodiesel should easily attain 21-22 mpg in combined driving. I've driven Ecoboosts and Hemi's in the real-world. Unless you try to hyper-mile, drive all highway, or you're retired--lol!, 15 mpg is the norm.
