when i had my 05 ram with a hemi i was getting roughly 18 highway and 15 city



but now im working on getting my bros 99 ram with a 360 it get killer mpgs on the interstate but city mpg is like 9 lol

 

Hell, I am lucky if I get 300 miles out of a tank.

But I wouldn't trade my 4wheel drive for anything, unless it has a Cummins and four back tires, then it would be 6 wheel drive.

 

Ah to hell with that why not go all out and get a t-rex...then it's 6wd and you get that 8.0. Never did like that motor. you should see some of the t rex videos on youtube though if you havn't. for 6wd they don't do to well in the mud and muck.

 

I get a consistant 14-15 mpg's around town, and about 17-19 highway...thats with a 360 with 203K...and i get about 350 mpgs to a tank, and i have a 26 gallon.

 

Well obviously your gas guage is broken, because there is no way that 18 gallons is only a quarter of a tank.

 

yeah that is what is says...because on "empty" I only put 22 gallons into it...but when my guage was broken, I would put 24-26 gallons into the tank....it must be a safety thing so you don't run outta gas

 

lol I remember that... was thinking same thing

not all gas is created equal btw...a popular magizine found that if they filled up at one perticuliar gas station they averaged 3-5 mpg more than any other they tried...this was on a vw "mileage motor" they were testing but same rules apply....gas formula varies a bit across the country depending on who refines it...
but in this case I'm gonna state the most common cause of high mpg on a dodge ram.... incorrect calculations
I get about 13mpg...on the highway

 

+100000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

 

the most common cause of high mpg on a dodge ram.... incorrect calculations

that's why they started putting those mpg deals in the overhead consolsn that'll tell you your average mpg...it's for idiots like me that can sit down for 6 hours with a calculator and come out with a different number every time they calculate fuel economy.

 

avg 11 mpg here
