That is the worst mpg I have ever heard from a 06 Hemi Ram.

'04 Ram 1500 quad cab 4x4 w/hemi 22's

I couldn't believe it myself but I actually got an average of 22 mpg on a trip to my parents house. I got stuck doing 55-60 behind some grandparents and noticed my mpg indicator was going up. I wondered how long I could keep it up since the speed limit was 75. I wasn't in a hurry and I knew exactly how long it would take to complete the trip so I figured it would be interesting to see what kind of mileage I could maintain and how much money I could save by going so slow. I was use to making the trip there in about 2 hours doing between 75-80 and spending about 30 bucks to fill the truck up when I got there and 30 bucks when I got back. I also thought back to the days when the speed limit was 55 and thats what we all did or close to it. So the wife put in a movie and we kicked back and set the cruise to 55. Sure it sucked doing 55 the entire time but it only added about 1 hour to the total trip and saved about ~$25 in gas. Well worth it in my book. I also tried this in our charger on the way to vegas and found the difference between doing 65 and 90. I spent about an extra $4 or $5 dollars ever 90 miles by doing 90 mph where my gas mileage was cut in half. At one point was I was getting over 30mpg in the charger at 60 mph! Guess I'll be driving slower for now on...
