Can anyone tell me what kind of gas mileage I should expect on a 2002 Ram 1500 with a 5.9 ltr V-8?

Thanks

I get 14mpg in a 1500 4x4 with the 5.9. That is mostly highway, averaged out over 40000 miles. I added a K&N, but I did not percieve any difference.

Dad has one with a bed cover and a K&N and at 55 he gets about 15 and at 70 he gets about 12.5. Dosen't seem right.
