Man do I feel cheated. I swear I will put a f'ing stop to the lies Dodge makes on their 3.7 Rams. That ****e of 16/21 is all lies. I've yet to get 19. The max I ever got with the steel 17's was 18mpg and that was driving like gramma going to church. Now I gots the 20" rims and is down to 16mpg average. I do 50/50 city/hwy. Never again will I buy a 6 cylinder full-size truck. I will tell everbody that is the most stupid thing to do. That sticker on the window is BS. 8 Cylinders and up for me baby. I dont care if Bush is getting rich everytime I pump 26 gallons into the truck. I want economy and power, so far I aint getting either. [:@]

Do me a favor,when you put down your mileage ,put down what size tires you are using ,I have 17's a lot have 20's. I just want to know which size is better. When I put 40 lbs of air in my tires I get the best miles per gallon.,

5.7 Quad Cab, downhill today with foot off gas and cruise turned off it actually recorded 31.5mpg. All I got to do now is find a big hill to roll it down each time I go somewhere.

Next moves are the touneau cover; and the Jeep Liberty intake from the air filter box to the throttle body (to eliminate the box on the engine - and a K&N filter.

In the '05 Ram 5.7 (20's), I average about 13.3 according the on-board computer. I have yet to figure out what it is actually. But you should do what I do in the Charger to get better mileage. Get her up to about a 100 or so and coast, according to the on-board computer, my mileage ticks up. (of course it really doesn't increase, it is all a numbers game).

I get between 25-27 mpg at 1500 rpm keeping at 50 mph, which is the best ratio I find. I averaged for my tank 16 mpg. I have an '02 Ram 3.7 5-speed single cabwith 28'000 mi. no mods. Do tornado's work?
