Kennard04 My Cummins gets 21-23 mpg 110 mile a day work commute, tank after tank. Also is averaging 12.5 mpg pulling a 11200lb 5er. I haven't seen a big gasser with that kind of mpgs. All pencil figures.

Wow, that's compact car mileage, pretty incredible, especially towing. 12.5 pulling a 11,200 pound fiver ? I'd have to guess that's a world record, but I've heard guys talking about mileage like this. Never seen it, but I've heard guys talk about it. My 3.0 liter Mercedes S-class, turbo diesel with half the weight, and half the engine size got 23-ish mpg, my non-turbo 240D got close to 28. But not one of my pick-up diesels ever, ever, ever got anywhere close to your mileage, not the Cummins, not any of the Navistars. Good for you if you are.
