Mine's a 02' SLT 4x4. It's on some Procomp Mud Tires. And I get right around 11.4 to 12 MPG. ON FREEWAY driving... I could imagine Worst city driving.
Damn, I didn't know gas mileage was this bad on dodge?
When I had my Ford-150, it gets 18-20 Freeway, and 15-16 City.

it's because you have a 5.9, my 5.2 got 10 city and 11 highway it was also on 33 inch all terrains. you should be getting better mileage than that though.

06 qc hemi... I get 18 city if I keep my foot out of it... about 15 if I dont... road trips... from 55 to 60 it is about 22 but at 65 mph it drops to about 19... I just moved from NC to Va and it is about a 210 mile drive... I towed a 89 Camaro and also had the bed filled full of boxes... not sure the exact weight but it definatly was heavy... I still got around 16 to 17 mpg... today I towed a Uhaul trailer the areo dynamics on that big POS were horrible... I got 13mpg...
