Thinking about a 96 Ram ext cab 4x4 with a 5.2 Magnum. What is the experience out there with milage? What should I expect?

 

HAHAHAHA omg i wanna cry...

ok here it is ----- Not That Good.. i know i drive a dodge i know its a truck so i accept the mileage i get

 

Im driving a 99 5.7 Chevy Tahoe 2wd and the best it's ever done is 15 mpg. SHould I expect better or worse with the 5.2 and 4x4?

 

worse

 

hey now i've gotten 16 out of my 5.9 doin 70-80 on the freeway so it's an up and down thing.. mostly get about 13-15.

 

ssshhhhiiiitttttt ....... for a while there i was gettin 8 MPG's talk about wanting to cry

 

I must be a baby, but I get 16 out of my truck which is city driving, and occasionaly getting on it pretty hard. It is a 5 spd manul and a 5.2.

 

i get on my 5 speed 5.2 alot.. most i got was 320 miles on the highway... around 12 - 13 mpg.. but dont expect that city driving.. average 270-280

 

Average for a 5.2V8 in a Ram is about 14,
and the range of 'mixed' MPG
based mainly on driver habits and partly on driving conditions
seems to be 10 to 18
meaning about 5% get less than 10
about 5% get better than 18
and 68% get between 12 and 16

5.9V8 Rams seem to be about 2 MPG less than a 5.2
but at highway cruise the difference declines to about 1 or less
especially at speeds above 75 mph or with heavy towing.

This Popular Mechanics magazine survey of 2 million miles of Ram driving is the biggest I know of:

Out of my 5.2 I was able to get 17-19 on highway and 14 in city... That was mainly while i was at sea level in Panama City FL.... However now I'm getting like 12-14 on highway and 7-9 in city...
