Fuel Mileage - Stock trucks all 3 manufactures????

[driverno8]

I got asked this question by someone who might be diesel shopping. I don't know the answers so I figured I'd ask you guys.



What is the average fuel mileage on newer stock trucks? 2x4 or 4x4



Dodge Cummins?



Ford Powerstroke?



Chevrolet Duramax?



I'm not starting a war between which manufacture is better, just real world mileage if you guys happen to know about the competitors. Thanks in advance.

You're also going to need to compare same for same. I think I recently read an article that compared the three with dually, 4x4 and Crewcab(Mega). I remember the Ford had the better mileage with the least amount of power.



My Mega at 11k with 4x4 and 6spd is averaging about 18. 1mpg with honed injectors. Rear wheel torque on the dyno stock was 510lb tq. Now at 640lb tq.

I understand this might be a stupid question, but what are honed injectors?
