$100 a tank! How much is your gas per gallon - $5??
$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.
lol. my mom has a honda crv and i think that it wastes almost as much gas as my truck. i truly believe that the hemi's are getting better mpg than the v6's. i probably should've gotten the hemi.

I've been getting roughly 15 city (mixed) and 17-19 Highway. My city trip to work doesn't have a lot of stop-and-go to it, and I like the throttle . If I travel on the interstate I'm lucky to get 17. If I'm on a 55mph highway, running at about 62 I get closer to 19. All hand calcs, but the computer is usually very close. I have 265's with 17" rims.

3.7 mpg sucks, trust me it does not get better. Dodge is a liar. Next time I will do my homework, but will not get full size truck with a 6. Oh I have 18,000 miles.

15.8 MPG here. 5.7 L with MDS and 20" tires. Truck is a 2006 QC with 2300 miles. I just love my truck - I don't worry about the MPG. I have owned Dodge Trucks since 1982 and this is the best MPG I have ever gotten. It's all about being happy - not economics!
