I drive a Dodge/Cummins

At this time, diesel engines are available only in 3/4 ton trucks. My 2006 Dodge with the Cummins turbodiesel and six speed manual gets between 15-19 mpg. Around town and highway is about the same. The best mileage is on the highway with reduced speed (65 mph). This is a 7,000 pound quad cab long box four wheel drive truck, so I am happy with these figures, which are about the same or better than I received with several half ton trucks with gasoline engines I owned before I bought the Dodge. I think any 3/4 ton truck with a gas engine would be in the low teens at best, though there are no EPA figures for them.
Diesel truck owners tend to be very passionate about their particular brand, and about diesel trucks in particular. The Cummins is quite a motor. The Turbo Diesel Register is a great web site for Dodge folks.
