It is a wonder how a 6.6 liter diesel can get better mileage than a 5.6 liter gasser, but they do.

There's no magic to it, just the laws of physics. * Diesel fuel has
more BTUs per gallon and diesel engines operate at a much higher
compression ratio. * In addition a diesel engine does not operate
against the constriction of a throttle plate. * The rule of thumb is
that a diesel engine will burn about 1 gallon per hour for every 17 or
18 horsepower. * A gas engine burns 1 gallon per hour for every 10 hp.

There's just nothing like having the most powerful pickup in the world!

You gotta love physics.

LMAO....better get a Cummins Diesel in that piece of **** then.
