5.8 average I'm guessing but you don't mention ratio

In almost 30 yrs of driving I've never seen a big cam Cummings or any other non computer motor get this kind of MPG. Some people say so but it will be another story made up by someone, you know " you aint gonna believe this"
If you are lucky and seeing as how the motor is 7yrs old the high side maybe high 4s but more likely around 4!

If he ran empty this may be possible. To bring us out of the 3 to 4 mpg motors they introduced us to computerized motors but with most trucks averaging low 6s 5.8 for that old of a truck and motor would be lieing to him. Now there are trucks getting higher than low 6s but nothing of that age!

I forget what the 290's got for mileage but it's pretty much the same block.
