I have a 2003 dodge quadcab when i first got the truck i got as good as 19mpg. But at around 5000miles the computer went out they put a new computer in it now the best i can get is about 16.5mpg and dodge say's there nothing wrong

 

03 quad cab - 16 in town 20 in country

 

What are you doing to get that kind of mpg. What kind improvment would a cooled air system get me ..........Rick

 

04' 5.7 Hemi 4WD Quad Cab, 11.3 MPG. No longer driving it as I can't afford $100 a tank.

 

$100 a tank! How much is your gas per gallon - $5??

 

2006 Ram 1500 Quad Hemi 4x4 20" wheels and 3:92 gears. 1st tank 16.5 mpg the old way. Whats this I hear about breakin lasting till 4k miles on the computer. Any truth????

 

Last tank, in a 3.7L v6, LIGHTLY DRIVEN... 13mpg... How? I only got 13 mpg in a v6 3.7L... oh, yes, it's a 2006 1500. I don't haul ***, most of my miles, if not all, are HWY. I cruise between 60 and 70 mph. I have 4900 miles on my babe now. So, from the info read in past pots, i should be getting better mpg now? I dont think so! I am very unhappy with the gas mileage, but happy with the truck. Any suggestions on saving gas? I got the power wire. I am working on finding an exhaust and cold air intake too.

 

By the way... that was the good ol' pen and paper being put to good use to figure out my mpg.

 

Sometimes if you drive too slow, your car will get worse MPG. For instance, if I granny drove my 4X4, I'd get 18 MPG. If I lightly, but got to cruising speed relatively quick, then I'd get 20. If I romped on it, I'd get 14. So, too slow is sometimes not the way to go, and you get everyone behind you mad.

 

$3.66-3.86 gallon. Now it's down to the mid 3's from the last spike in prices. I drive a 4 cylinder car now, and let me tell you, it doesn't get a heck of a lot better gas mileage, 21.2 MPG. Stupid "economy" cars, I want my truck back. The truck at least carried it's own weight and then some.
