My friends with GM & Ford Diesels do not get 22 MPG keeping up with a Tundra. They are in the mid to hi teens also. Is the ram much better?

The 22 mpg figure was from the linked article about the Tundra diesel. My non-babying mileage on the Ram was 17 mpg (mostly highway). Being a 3/4 ton instead of a 1/2 ton and with the loaded 54 gallon replacement tank, the Ram probably weighed about 1,200 to 1,400 pounds more then my Tundra. My mileage on the Tundra could increase a little from 17 mpg as I get the engine broke in more. It has less than 3,000 miles on it now.
