That would be good, I get up to 22 mpg @ 60 mph with my Cummings
I'm not sure if people like Rams small diesel in the half ton truck

That diesel, Duramax is $3730 additional. That buys a lot of gas for my money.

And it will only get 20-21 mpg.

If its was a 3.6 gas, its 21-23mpg 4-wd. $3730 divided by even $3.00 is 1243 gallons of gasoline.

1243 times 21mpg=26,100 miles to get to a break even point. I will keep my gasoline engine.
