Re: [A/S] Diesel milage
2004 Dodge 2500 w/ 3.73 and 4speed Auto, 2wd
We pull a 25' Safari and get 13 to 15 mpg towing. Wind, hills and speed are biggest
factors. W/o the trailer I get 22.5 mpg.
The rear end, transmission, chip (don't have one yet) and air filter all matter...as does 2wd
vs. 4wd. We have replaced the factory air filter with a Green cloth/oil air filter. Picked up
about 1mpg towing...no improvement w/o the trailer. I have also noticed fuel quality
makes a difference, as does changing / cleaning the air filter very often.
Hope this helps.
