    They get 18mpg when you drive them like a fucking baby on the highway. Your average idiot who floors it at every stoplight, and does 90 on the interstate gets half that.

        “Tuning” trucks to roll coal is also just turning up the fuel injector duration so they are also blowing extra diesel out basically unburned.

      It gets between 11-12 mpg on average according to user reports at Fuelly

      Diesel is around $6/gal depending on where you live.

      It costs around $0.50/mile to drive a Ram 3500 6L just in fuel. On average. Across thousands of drivers that reported data.
