I burn about $5500 worth of fuel per year in my truck. If I knew a Ram could do 10% better it could save me about $11,000 over a 20 year period. With inflation that might more like $20,000.
Yeah, but in the real world, the Ram still got 3.5% better mileage than the Ford!
I was thinking more with regard to the Ram diesel getting 10% better fuel economy than my Ford..... and I don't know if it does or not but it wouldn't surprise me to learn the Cummins gets better fuel economy. In this test of gas engines it was the Chevy that does about 11% better than the Ford. Anyway people haggle over purchase price and will let a couple thousand dollars sway their decision as to which truck to drive .... not considering fuel economy in the equation is really kind of silly.
