Default Looking into a Diesel for next summer

Hey guys, I'm doing a bunch of research on the 5.9 Cummins because I would like to sell my truck and buy an 06-07 5.9 by mid may next year. I'm just wondering what you guys are seeing for gas mileage for city and highway? I hear 18 for city and maybe even low to mid 20's is possible for highway. Also, what are some positives and negatives for the 5.9. I know they are very solid, long lasting engines, but am just curious to hear from you, who have first hand experience with this truck and engine. Thanks!
