15.2 in city? How do you calculate your MPGs? BTW, that TB spacer is a paperweight, not helping your performance at all.

I got right around 11 in town when I had my 2nd Gen when stock. Installed lift, 35" tires and went to 9 mpg, after the 35s went on, the best I could see was about 12 mpg highway mileage.

I get around 10 city mileage close to 13 on the highway, I have gotten as low as 8.2 and as good as 14.5, but the short trip too work really doesnt help gas mileage

the main reason is because it is 2 wheel-drive but yeah, i take my miles and divide it by the gallons. I usually fill up when the needle says empty too, i usually put 20-22 gallons to fill it and gets over 300 miles. The throttle body spacer barely but did add throttle response, barely noticeable though. These numbers are unreal compared to all dodge trucks, which is why i love my Ram lol
