Default 2500 to 3500 mpg comparison?

Hi, all...

We're considering purchasing a 2003 Ram 2500 or 3500 - Quad Cab - have been surfing the net for 3 hours this morning trying to find the fuel economy (gas/diesel) - and want to compare the 2 models (2500 & 3500) - hubby wants the 3500 - and I think it's going to be too costy for gas/diesel.

Does anybody out there know where I can find the spec labels for these trucks - I know the EPA labels are under prime lab testing conditions - but at least it will give me an idea of what to expect...

Happy Easter...

Tammy & Gary

If I remember right, since the trucks are heavy duty they are not required to undergo epa mileage tests.
