Replaced a bunch of parts and still getting low MPG
I have a 2001 dodge ram 5.9 off road edition and I replaced a bunch of parts and went from 5mpg to 10mpg but I feel like most people get 13-15
Heres what I've replaced:
- Both O2 Sensors
-TPS
-All new upgraded Bosch injectors
-Air Filter
-Coil
-Plugs, Cap, Rotor, Wires
I am also getting the P0455 code but would that cause the low MPG's? Anyone have any ideas?

Honestly 10mpg probably isn't too far off if it's city driving. I mean my 5.9 4x4 is only rated at like 12 city as a brand new truck, and yours is an off road which means higher gearing (4:10's?) I can completely see you getting 10mpg with the 5.9 and that gearing with a ten year old truck. With that said, definitely fix the vacuum leak as that can definitely be hurting your mpg.
