Had my truck about a month now. Getting 14-15 mpg out of a 318, 5 speed, 4x4, w/ 285's. Not bad, since most of the driving is around town and I live in the mountains.

05 5.7L Hemi 4X4 QC 245/70/R17 Everything stock and was getting 13.6 town and 16 to 17 highway
Just added Magnaflow cat with 3.5 in. deuls out the sides with 4in SS tips. Now I get 14.7 to 14.9 town and 18.5 to 20 highway
Thinking also about adding cold air intake. Any suggestions on bands? Also just bought 285/70/17 BFG A/T install next week
anyone else running these tires with no mods? How do they ride?

I'm running 32 x 11.50 x 15 BFG AT and they seem to ride fine. No road noise at all which is nice for an all terrain. They are very bad at picking up rocks though. So you you drive much gravel kiss some of your paint good bye.

I have a 2000 318 with a 5 speed. My best MPG is 17.5 I average 16.5 consistently. Keep in mind that the truck has a manual tranny. No aftermarkets products have been added just all factory...

Just checked mine Saturday and out of 237 miles about 100 miles was highway and the rest was some hard city driving with a lot of stop and go traffic and my foot in it a lot (I really hate the city). I averaged 12.1 mpg.
