    My 86 Gutlass was lucky to see 17mpg. By the time I was 19 it was getting about 9mpg.

    My brother says he has seen 30mpg in his 05 Vette.

    Ran a 09 5500 rollback that got 21mpg empty. But wasnt operated as designed. Was sold off at 300k

    To be fair, the weight difference in your ram and my old caprice was just the 4 wheel drive!

    Those engine were a blunder for one simple reason. Gm skimped a fuel water separator due to cost. That is it. That diesel had the ability to change things. They sheet the bed with them.


    Now if I recall it's the 350DX blocks with a 425 under turned crank and sonic testing it can go 451 cubes, gasser 6/7A heads and cut the fuel pump boss off. You have a bad mofo.

    I lugged out 608 miles today from the Pilot in Madera, CA to the Flying-J in Wells, NV and just like @stwik said, "I'm pooped". I hate running that many miles when I'm over width as much as I am. At 12.0" wide and this cooling tower hanging over into each lane it is a mental beating running down the road.
