And on top of that.. Around here.. the diesel fuel is $.10 cheaper than the
87 octane.
better mileage, and cheaper fuel..
For you Mike.. I'd be watching for the Cummins for in your RamCharger..
 Personally.. I think a Dak with a 3.9L Cummins pushed up to around 275HP
would keep me pretty content. But for my RamCharger.. I'd prefer the 5.9L
or even the 8.3L Cummins.
