That's all fine and good, but with all the new EPA crap that the federal government has REQUIRED the manufacturer to put on ALL the diesel engines being built for the bigger trucks....the fuel mileage is on average 4 miles per gallon

Without the EPA crap on the engine, the average miles per gallon is 6-9 miles per gallon

You do the math
