Real world fuel milage on most are between 12 to 20 as for my dodge that is a 95 3500 4.10 gears and a 5 speed is around 14.5 to 15 truck by it's self and it is tweeked as far as i can go before spending big bucks as far as a semi and i have run them for 42 years and have a good working knolage of them anywhere from 4.5 up into the 8 -9 mpg but on and avarge around 6 the last one that i drove was a turned up 3406 E cat and i would get over 6.5 in the summer months and 6.2 in winter . My old 4300 I H with a wild turned up 350 Cummins got 5.7 to 5.9 . Detroit 60 seires is getting the best milage but they just don't last as long as a Cat or Cummins . The 525 Hp cummins that i am running now only get 4.9 but it has some problems.
