I have a mpg update the forum savages ![Wink](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Still no I/C yet but- mileage has been awesome when i slow down and the motor has had a chance to warm up before i fill up. I've taken 2 small trips about an hour each way. I have Pics of my odometer readings and pump readings for proof too![Smile](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I logged 27.5mpg going south from wilmont mn to spirit lake ia. And today from spirit lake ia to worthington mn, 29.25mpg!
These were both flat roads at 55-60mph tops and mostly interstate. Kinda surprised I wasnt shot on the 4 lane lol

Highways here have speed limit of 55 and interstate is 70? So far I have been getting ~20-22 in town when I don't let it sit and idle while I run into stores, etc. 23.4mpg has been my interstate best and recently 27-29mpg has been my best at 55mph...
Something crazy I noticed today while I was fueling up is diesel finally went cheaper than gasoline again![Icon Headbang](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_headbang.gif)
$3.74 vs $3.99 a gallon
at this rate I will only need about 15k more miles to pay off the investment in the swap

Awesome build. To bad its an Auto. I know you wanted to keep it simple.. but I hate the fact that my current ram is an auto. HATE HATE HATE HATE IT.. but i'll live. I have a 6BT with manual laying on the floor of the garage that needs a cleaning and a swap in. wish i had a bigger ram. But I don't and people want gold for junk up here so i'll make do.
