    My 2500 Ram Cummins turbo diesel gets 23MPG on the highway...my old 1500 Ram 360 got 17. Towing with the old truck (open trailer) best hwg mileage was 12.5. The diesel gets 15-17 towing a much heavier and way more aero drag 22 foot enclosed trailer. If you are going to do more than the occasional tow, I'd recomend the cummins any day. Resale value is WAY better than the gas engine, and the dependability is legendary. I'm a diesel convert, thats from my personal experience.

    Concerning your mileage, I have only two ideas......

    1) I call bull****!   Or....

    2) You must have a very light foot, and drive quite mellow.

    I have heard, 22, 26, 28, even 32 MPG from a cummins before.
    I have drove.........
    92 Cummins tow truck, 4x4, 4:10's, five speed. 14 best, empty.
    95 Cummins 2x4, Auto, 3.55's. 17 best, no trailor, no weight....
    2002 Cummins, 1 ton dually, 4x4, felt like 4:10's, it got about 18 light.
    I have seen.........12-18 from them, my 71 318 powerd D200 get 14, behind a lighter loaded powerstroke getting 12 (98 powerpoke, 2x4 dually), and monkeys fly right out my butt! OK, maybe not, but still.........................over 20 is BS in my book.
    Chev Duramax 1 ton 4x4 12' flatbed, got 12.3 loaded, from a honest guy.

    These are the averages reported to me by my dealership customers and are Imperial MPG. 12 valve=19-32, 24 valve=17-26, CRD=17-24.
    Hope this helps, these are unloaded figures.

    BTW, just did a mileage evaluation for a customer today as he said he couldn't get more than 14.8 mpg. Truck is a 2005 3500 SRW and got about 1500lbs of extras. on a test loop of 63 miles it averaged 20.9 imp MPG @ 67MPH

    Hope this clears up some of the confusion for you.

    on a test loop of 63 miles it averaged 20.9 imp MPG @ 67MPH

    "For liquid measure, or liquid capacity, the basic unit is the gallon, which is divided into 4 quarts, 8 pints, or 32 gills. The U.S. gallon, or wine gallon, is 231 cubic inches (cu in.); the British imperial gallon is the volume of 10 lb of pure water at 62°F and is equal to 277.42 cu in. The British units of liquid capacity are thus about 20% larger than the corresponding American units. The U.S. fluid ounce is 1/16 of a U.S. pint; the British unit of the same name is 1/20 of an imperial pint and is thus slightly smaller than the U.S. fluid ounce."

    If your mileage was based on imperial gallons, it would become 17.4 MPG with U.S. gallons.

    Time to get this thread back on track..... while these aren't mine personally, they belong to the Fire Dept I'm on. They are the first 3 pieces of motorized apparatus the town had; a '19 Model T, '29 Chevy, and a '39 Chevy. (I know, no Dodges.... oh well). Still, they are a source of pride to the department. The '29 & '39 have been owned by the department since new; the '19 was sold when it was retired from regular service. A bunch of the guys back in the '60's found it, bought it back, (literally in pieces, in multiple boxes) and rebuilt it.
