Ram 2500 Cummins Furel Mileage
In my ongoing effort to decide to trade my Hemi for the diesel first let me say this: THIS IS NOT ABOUT TOWING CAPACITY. This is about FUEL ECONOMY. My 5.7L Hemi tows my 8000# trailer over anything...

Saw an article in Truck Trend where they reviewed the fuel mileage from a gasser and diesel, the upfront costs differences, and maintenance costs of each. They estimated it is close to 100,000 miles for the breakeven of owning a gasser over a diesel in terms of overall costs. I don't believe this was brand specific comparison, just overall general ownership costs.
Don't believe everything you read..;)
There is a fundamental issue with these comparisons that is not really addressed. They are based on the Assumption that you do not own either a gas or diesel engined truck to begin with.
But if you have equity/trade in value in a gas engine and move up to the diesel the equation and the results would be different. As it will be for me when and if I trade my 2014 for a 2016.
