I really like that site. That's really the only place I think you can get an honest combined mpg for vehicles.
None of which are 20-24 mpg that guys claim they're getting from a tank

I agree. I can, however, say that my '96 CTD2500 4WD 5 speed, 3.55 rears, got 27.9mpg on a round-trip from Virginia to L.I., NY, in one day. Filled up in Winchester, VA. Drove to Medford, NY and back to Winchester. Upon arrival to Winchester, I filled the tank back up with 24.5 gal, and traveled 684mi.
My 24V can get that, downhill, coasting. That's it's best chance.

My girlfriends has gotten nearly 24 MPGs from a tank but it was literally 500 miles of highway driving.
What's wierd is she had her truck services at the local cummins shop, ever since her lie-o-meter seems like it is probably spot on. Before it would read 21-24mpg average now it's 17-18 avg
It's hard to say what spot on actually is with her truck is since we have a 300 gallon tank and hand pump fuel lo

No that's filtered for just diesels. My girlfriends is about 13.5 in town/18.xx highway and she usually averages 17.1-18.2 a tank (mostly highway)
