Diesals burn fuel differently, and I don't really consider 17 miles per gallon "good" gas mileage, especially comparing it to cars. SUVs get even worse gas mileage. My friend's dad's Suburban gets 12 miles/gal in the city and about 9 on the Interstate. The Suburban is, of course, gas fueled, not diesal. Either way, the gas mileage sucks.

Yes, I know they burn fuel differently. As for a One ton truck, that is good mileage. U can't compare a one ton truck vs. a geo metro for gas mileage, its like apples and oranges. Look at a comparison between torque output, engine displacement, vehicle weight, primary usage of the vehicle.
