Miles per tank-the tale of two fuels

[bqcooker]

I've been reading a lot here about the Dodge 6.4 and CTD. Both look promising for what I need/want. Can I get some averages of those have a 2014/15 of each, of miles to the tank of just daily driving? I do a lot of highway driving of about 40K miles a year, so if I knew how many miles to the tank, I can get a rough estimate per fill up. Thanks

I get just a little over 600 miles to a tank in my 2014 crew cab dually diesel. That would be a mix of city and hwy, aveage between 16 and 17 mpg

Towing, get around 450 miles to a tank. Between 12 and 13 mpg.

Well the difference is 20%, so you would go 20% further with the diesel on the same sized tank

Thing is, at least where I live, diesel cost right now is roughly 24% higher than gasoline.

4% penalty for a bunch more power, I will take that any day.

Apples and oranges. They are talking about distance, not cost.

And you're getting 25% better mileage with the diesel. Cost was not asked here, but mileage was.

Just get the Cummins and be done with it! Nothing worse than having 50-60K regrets!

Hi 2015 Ram CC DRW 6.4 so far 11.7 mpg about 50/50 driving empty.
Towing 8,000lbs 9.5mpg. Total miles on truck is 3,800 . Its getting better with every tank. So far its great! Sold a ford diesel 6.4 so its taking a little time to get use to the big gas motor.
