If you can afford any of these trucks then MPG is probably the least of your worries in life.

It's definitely not make or break for the average joe that only drives 15k a year. Should only really be a large deciding factor for your hot shotters etc that put on a ton of miles per year. Pretty big expense factor for those guys, just a nice thing to know for your average joe. It is nice getting 20+ mpg on the highway though in the Ram!

Back when every pick up got 10 mpg or less I never would think that I'd be getting 22 or 23 in my CTD CC 1 ton cruising at 60 mph. A one ton was sort of an odd specialty truck with very expensive parts. I need to recheck mine this summer when empty now that it has 45,000 miles on it. When I was 10 yr old walking on the beach listening to my pocket size Japanese radio I didn't think that 50 years later I'd have a computer in my pocket that's 1/3 the size and can tell me just about anything I want to know in the whole world. Incredible times we live in, at least to an old guy anyway.
