Year: 2009
Model: RAM 1500 Laramie 3.92 20" Rims.
Engine: 5.7L HEMI
Highway percent: 90

Location: Red Deer, Alberta
Octane: 87
Hand or computer calc: Hand
Miles on truck: 15,000km

Mods: Flowmaster, K&N Drop In

340km trip using cruise control set at 118/kmh or 73mph. Temp -1C or 30F. Light wind. Straight and fairly level road. Filled up before I left and filled up again when I got back.

340km used 44L of gas = 12.9L/100km = 18.2MPG (I think I calculated it right! )

3rd tank, different gas, getting better again!
Year - 09
Model -1500 ST Crew Cab 4 x 4 Sport SLT
Engine - 5.7
Gears...3:92s
Tires-20
Highway percent - 90

Location -Rochester, NY to York, PA
Octane - 89 with 10% ethanol
Hand or computer calc - computer
Miles on truck - up to 1100
MPG - 17.8
Mods - none

When I'm ready for my next tank, I'll be trying 89 octane 100% gas. Then I'll be ready for some mods with this baseline information.

I should also note the temperature was about 10 degrees warmer (30-40) from the 1st tank until the 3rd tank full.
