Hey folks!!! Well i am lookin to buy an 01 Ram 1500 for 4500-5000and i was wonderin what thempg would be about.

 

if everything is in tip top shape your looking at 10-11 mpg city

 

how bout freeway drivin

 

I get 15-16 with about 95% highway driving.
I'm not easy on it either.

 

Depends completely on your tires and style of driving (and later on, upgrades). My 1995 Dakota would get 18 MPG on the highway on cheapo highway tires with the A/C turned on, driving average (not real aggressive, but not grandma either). When upgraded to A/T tires (and slightly larger than stock), I got 15-16.

My current truck gets 11-12 in town, and 13-14 on the highway. Of course, my Dakota had the 318 (5.2L V8) and my current truck has the 360 (5.9L). Before a tune-up, I got 10-10.5 in town, so I'd highly recommend that as soon as you make your purchase. New dist. cap, rotor, and wires.

 

You didn't say what engine, tires, lift, auto, etc.
Expect 12. If you get more, great.

 

I get 14 to 15 around town with my 5.2 4x4 QC and 17to18 on the highway .

 

Are you looking at the overhead console?


Anyway I hand calculate my numbers and I seem to get 13-14 mostly highway with some light city driving. Not a lot of stop and go just back roads more.

If I drive just city I'd say anywhere from 10-12mpg. If I do just highway mostly I've seen slightly over 14 before but I'd say like above expect 12 highway you might get better or you might get worse.

Btw mine has a 360 engine, 33" tires that stick out the side, and a few mods such as programmer, air hat, exhaust, MSD plug wires, etc. Just basic stuff like that.

 

i got 1995 5.22 wheel drive i get 14.5 city i know thats right because i do it by hand.
