No question the diesel will gat better mpg than a gas engine but with diesel running about 10% above regular, the cost per mile is similar.

Can anyone here report on a Ford 3.5 Ecoboost ? In theory it should be more efficient than the Pentastar.

My Jeep GC has the same drivetrain and does a little better here in the flatlands, 17-18 when towing the 2720SL at 65 and 24.6 at 70ish without. GC is shorter and lighter than the Durango (no third seat) so fine around town.
