Just picked up a 2007,3500 Quad cab, 5.9L with a 6 speed manual, 3.73 gears.

21.3mpg on the first tank of fuel andI'm hoping that it climbs as it breaks in

Granted it was the computer that gave the 21.3 but....... at the time of fill up,quick glance at the amount to fill the tank and the milage driven, doing the math in my head,the figurewas easilyover 20mpg.
I'm working on my 2nd tank full now, I'll do the long math to see if there is any diffrence between computer and actual.
Just as an FYI, I have a fuel computer on my boat and it is smack on, I don't see why the Dodge computer should be any diffrent.

OK here is thefuel numbers for my second fill up.

540 miles on the trip meter, filled up with 26.82 gallons from the same pump at the same gas station.
That come up to 20.134mpg, thetruck computer reads 20.3mpg.
I bumped up my travel speed to 75mph (from 67mph)on the highway to see if it had any effect on my fuel usage.

I averaged hand calculated 21.7mpg, thats 75/25 highway/city(light footed). My truck is completely stock 94 2500 CTD 2 wheel drive,and 4.10 gear ratio. I have to drive painfully slow on the highway to get that kind of mileage i never go over 65mph.
