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.
Mileage should be the LAST reason why you choose a diesel over gas. You buy a diesel because you want/need the pulling power. PERIOD! Trying to justify based on mileage is futile with all things considered.
