Default What kind of mileage to expect

Currently looking at an '06 1500 with 5.7. Truck will be a daily driver, kind of a mix of city/hwy and I was wondering what kind of mileage to expect.
Thanks

Lots of info flying around about this. 2wd ro 4wd???? Reg cab or QC???? You need to set-up your profile if you plan to ask questions once you get a Ram. Why not? Join the group and plus it will help everyone get to know you and help you out! ~13city/16-18highway 4wd ~14city/18-20highway 2wd.
I would suggest using the search function to go over all the discussion about mpg's and these trucks and what effects them...etc.
