should i get better mpg in my 2006 dodge cummins?
I just bought a 2006 dodge ram 2500 cummins diesel the other day and i love it. I havent let it go through the whole tank of fuel yet but when i fill it up from 3/4 of a tank it shows i'm only averaging 14.5 mpg hand calculated and that with driving pretty easily, that is mixed driving town and highway. my truck already has a bully dog air intake and a edge mileage max chip. i dont know why its getting that low any thought of what it could be or what i could do to make it better thanks!!!

My '07 5.9 exhibits a wide range of unloaded MPG behaviors. It goes from a high of 21 on long highway trips to a low of 13 if I'm mostly shuttling around town and getting into it alot. Normal average is 18 in mixed driving if I take it easy. You will probably see that over the long term as well like blacktruck says, if you are a conservative driver. Heavy on the throttle and it drops quick.
