and once you factor in the price of diesel.... i get 17 hwy and 15 city with my 98 ram 1500 slt larimie 2 wheeldrive with auto and 5.9l but i have to run 89 octane or it pings up a hill or under a load 92000 miles. got slightly better milage with load range e tires inflated to 80 psi and suprisingly the ride wasnt much rougher meaning i doubt i could tell the difference at 60 mph on i-5 but i didnt get them this time because they werent cost effective. i have an 04 2500 ram diesel quad cab lb 4x4. i get about 15.5 mpgmore on the city side of miles and wanted to know if the 06 has the same engine and if the mpgs are similar. especiallly if it has the mega cab. you also have to factor in the transmission. i have seen people with 6 speed manual 2wd claim high as 24 mpg thanks for the help tony .

geekisme@geeker.com writes i have seen people with 6 speed manual 2wd claim high as 24 mpg a coworker has an 06 2500 crew cab longbed with the manual and 3.73 rear end and he claims hes averaging 24 on his daily commute mostly highway miles. it wouldnt surprise me either. ive ridden with him a couple times and he really babys it way more than i ever would. .
