I got like 15.4 Mpg on the highway is this true cuz the trip computer says so....city driving getting around 12.1 im confused!!!???

 

WooHoo, hit 13 on the highway last night. I need 4.56's

 

Had the truck for about a month. I'm averaging about 11-12 MPG per tank doing it by hand. The computer is reading pretty close though. This has been mostly stop & go city driving with plenty of throttle fun times. On the highway, tonight I averaged 19 one way & 21 the other for a trip I took. This was cruising at 100KM both ways which is roughly 62 MPH. I just put a vinyl tonneau on and I took my bug deflector off to see if that improves mileage.

Oh & this is with 87 octane
Going to try 89 next fill.

If your only getting 13 on the highway, then I don't think 4.56's are going to help your style of driving... "Drive it like you stole it!"

 

2002 Ram 4X4 P/U, Long Bed, Quad Cab, 5.9L gasoline eng., Auto. Road trip Texas to NY... 16.5 MPG avg.

Final numbers after a long hiatus:
2005 V6 6M, 20" inch stock mopar rims and tires, 87 octane, flomaster 40 dual dumped, 19,000 miles, driving like an idiot, flooring under bridges, flooring in parking garages, peeling out when possible, 65% city/ 35%hwy = 13.97mpg

You still want a V6 Ram, there you go.

 

Im getting dick all mpg....i got tons of upgrades and not really reliable trip computer to proved the actual MPG so my estimate is around 13.5-15.5 C/H

 

3.7 QC averages 15 around town, 16-18 on the hiway and it has to down shift twice going into a head wind on the interstate. I love my truck but wouldn't waste my time on the 3.7 again!

 

Badoah, I have a tip on how to get better gas mileage. Learn how to calculate it. There is no way you are just getting 9 mpg. I have a 410 hp hemi 1500 and I am getting 13 in town and 13.5 highway.
