Default short road trip
Took a short 300mile road trip in the ram today and avg'd about 13.5mpg running 70ish the whole time. Not to bad for a 360 with 33-1250s and a 3in lift! Truck ran great the whole way no problems!

if he got 13.5 mpg he used roughly 22.25 gallons, if he has a 26 gallon tank id say thats pretty damned good!

13.5 mpg's isn't bad. I don't want to brag but a few months ago I made a 240 mile trip and averaged 15.5 Cruising at 65-70. I have 3" lift and 33x12.50 tires too
