i get 12-13 hgy and 10-11 around town in my chevy avalanche 2500 with the 8.1L. if i can get that out of a power wagon i'll be happy. those 4.56 gears scare me though. i can see that thing getting around 8mpg and with gas at 3.65 a gallon it probably wont happen. i've never owned a dodge but i have to admit that i like that power wagon alot. if i can get the same mileage out of that power wagon with the 4.56 gears, the avalanche is gonzo.

That is right in line what I am getting with my 2005 Power Wagon. The 2010-newer Power Wagons should be about a mile per gallon better with the Variable Valve Timing that they have now.

Good luck man, those trucks are beautiful! I guess I don't feel too bad, my truck with 33's and a 4" lift is getting around 13.5 in town and about 16.5 highway...
