Just got my Ram 2 weeks ago and found this forum today. I get between 7 and 11 mpg with combined hwy/street driving. Not great, but with a V10 and 4.10 gearing I shouldn't complain. Looking forward to reading up more.

Havent posted in here for awhile. Switched to shell Nitrogen added gas 89 octane. get about 14.3 in the city (Best) and around 16.7 highway (Best) (Which sadly, is better fuel economy than our 2008 Chevy Avalanche.....)

I've done the math on a couple tanks of gas (have to track mileage anyway as my gauge doesn't work) and I average 10-11MPG on a 1997 Ram 1500 5.2L (318) 4x4.... The original window sticker quoted 13-17. I don't accelerate hard all that often. Any reason why my mileage is so low...?
