2003 cummins, what mpg should I be seeing?
hi everyone I know this question is asked a lot, but I can't seem to find my exact situation. though I know about diesels, this is my first time owning one. I have a 2003 Dodge ram 2500 5.9 cummins laramie 4X4. it is a 4 door, long bed, it has an airaid intake, a 4 inch straight pipe exhaust, and edge 30103 programmer and no lift but 35" cooper MT's. right now I have it set on mileage and I'm only getting 16 mpg. does this sound right? I thought I would at least see 20.

That is not too bad for a combination. Larger/wider tires will make a difference not necessarily a huge difference but a difference nonetheless. Stop and go driving just kills fuel mileage all around. Being an automatic every time you stop you still have a constant pull on the engine unlike a manual.
