1st genners how much less mileage on ULSD

my ole '93 got the best mileage of any dodge I ever owned, 20 mpg with a mix of city and highway, 18.5 doing the same thing on winter blended fuel. I could hit 23 mpg on a run down to bloomfield NM.

I am wondering about the guys who had their 1st gens long enough to know, how much less mileage are you seeing since ULSD came out??

you guys who still run these trucks don't be lurred by the new models, I have since owned an '02 and now an '06 nothing ran quite like that ole '93, a bump of the starter is all it took to fire up, pull your house down off idle torque, the motor always sounded exactly the same, no funky electronics, in many ways I kinda miss that old truck
