I have a 2006 GMC 2500HD (4.10 rear end). Round trip to Bozeman pulling a 31' we averaged 10.38mpg on 3200 miles. Love it a lot. Would like to have a diesel but the cost...

Another member of the Nebraksa unit has a diesel. In comparison it seems that he pays about 18-20% more for fuel than we do, but gets about 38% better mpg. He is pulling the same trailer as us on the same route for the comparison.

The diesel does not downshift very often whereas we do with the 6.0. But that is not too big a deal.
