Ok, I need some expert opinions here.

It seems everywhere i go I hear of people getting gas (diesel) mileage way better than I do, what's the story?

I have a 06 Ram 2500 SLT Quad cab with a 5.9l Cummins. 4.10 axle ratio, 11.50 rear axle. I am getting around 12 mpg pulling a thirty foot Montana. I can get up to 18 mpg not towing.

Tell me, is this normal? I only have about 11,000 miles on the vehicle and have heard that it will improve once it is "broke in". When I hear of people getting 18 mpg pulling a trailer, I am shaking my head. Are there additions or changes I can make to my Dodge (not jeopardizing the warrantee of course).

Any Dodge experts out there?
