I just finished a 4800 mile round trip from San Diego to Canada and back with my 6.2 and averaged 9.5 mpg with my 4000 lb. Lance camper. My truck is a 1 ton regular cab 4x4 with the 4.30 rear end. I've had the truck for 4 years now and it has been flawless. Turned 50k on the odo climbing the non stop mountains on the trans-Canadian hwy. Truck had power to spare.
You're exactly who the gas motor makes sense for. You average 12.5k miles a year. You'd never see the benefit of new diesel mileage. I've got two 3500 mile trips to Colorado and just over 11000 miles on my truck since I bought it in early April. I'd kick myself all the time if I'd have ordered my truck with the big Hemi.
