92 c3500 eclb dually 454 auto. 12-14 depending on the temp outside. Doesnt matter if im empty or a full load hauling the pachanga loaded to the max with coolers and gas.

Seems like overall, generally speaking, there are not too many 1 ton dually tow rigs out there, knocking down big MPG numbers. I see on some other sites, whether it be a Ford, Dodge, or Chevy Forum, there are quite a few inflated mpg numbers, by guys trying to make themselves feel better about their purchase.

yes their are but the figures would get trashed on here.....here is one ..my old 97 crew cab chebby with a 6.5 td,,50 hp chip,marine injection pump with #9 chip,marine injectors..4'' exhaust..adjustable wastegate...up dated fan,,,it got 18 mpg @ 70..12 towing...

Those guys simply can't do math......Got 20 mpg? Truck holds 30 gallons then you must have gone 600 miles right? Um, no I refilled at 400 miles because it was empty.....well then you only got 13.3 mpg! An chips/performance upgrades never equal more MPG regardless of what the company promotes!

You are still pushing a heavy, not real aerodynamic box through the wind burning $4 diesel........ Look at it this way, 12 mpg means every 3 miles you throw a $1 out the window in fuel! Start commuting in your dually and you suddenly are smoking through serious gas money! My buddy is an electrician and he found it cheaper to drive a Honda Fit to estimate jobs/get permits than to drag the F350 everywhere. The fuel savings alone pays for the 2nd vehicle plus he doesn't have to worry about a truck loaded with tools all the time! Crack heads love spools of copper wire and the tools are just icing on the rock!

Every 3 miles in the boat you throw $10 out the window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have thought before about buying a little civic or something to daily drive, but I always come to the conclusion that I would end up saying "Well, I'll just take the truck today for fun" and the commuter car would sit so I never have. These diesels are just too fun!

I'm hoping my 06 ram 3500 CTD will do this good. If not no big deal, it's not like we live this lifestyle for the fuel savings

And thats the answer to tell people when they ask why gas is so expensive,,because it can be.
People dont care,,they will keep driving their 10-14mpg trucks and SUVs to work or play whether they need to
or not and whether gas is $2 a gallon or $6 a gallon..
I am one of those by the way myself, my Saab Aero (trailblazer SS) gets 14city 18hwy on a good day,,all I care about is the
400horsies under the hood. Not smart but sure is fun..

I disagree, I have 2 neighbors that sold their suburbans with fuel burn being their biggest concern ($400-600 a month). One bought a Prius and the other bought an Infiniti SUV hybrid. Most of the time they were riding around solo burning $15-20 a day in gas!

I am not an SUV guy but if I had to get one I would buy a Porsche Cayenne TDI or VW Touraeg TDI....both decent performers with decent mileage for an SUV. Local paper had an ad last week for the VW Passat TDI....gets 800 miles to a tank (HWY) and the car is made in Tennessee and is similar to an Audi A4.....you can even get a 6 spd manual tranny too!

08 GMC 3500 Duramax.12-13 around town empty 10-11 towing I have gotten up to 16 on a long haul coming back empty.

Guy,s around here with 08 DPF duramax,s maybe get 10/11 at best empty .
