From : marilyn

Q: hi i am in the market for my first diesel. i currently own a 2002 ram 1500 360 cid. and have loved everything about it except the fuel economy. i have a few questions for those of you that own a cummins. i will be purchasing a 4x4 quad cab. 1 i drive 140 miles per day. about 80 hwy and 60 city. i have heard all manner of b.s. regarding the mpg i can expect. i have heard from as low as 15 mpg to 24 mpg i dont believe this for a second mainly because it came from the dealer. i dont drive like a maniac but i dont drive like granny either. what is reasonable to expect i live in dallas texas btw. mostly flat. 2 the dealer also told me that the automatic did not get any better milage than the 6-speed. i find this difficult to believe. what is the difference in mpg between the trannys 3 right now dodge is offering 1000.00 cash back until 11/1/2004. are the factory rebates towards the end of the year usually more than this thanks craig c. .
