Many old timers have yold me that like trucks/tractors doing the same thing, Diesel will/can get 50% more economy.
If you want a dodge diesel truck for mileage, get one of the 12 valve motors. This would be a 94 to early 98 model. Then have a diesel mechanic tune it. There are people CLAIMING to get upper 20's. Like 28 mpg.
I have a 02 Cummins and it has gotten 22.4 on the highway but normal running is 17-18. I am sure it can go down to 10-12.
