Believe it. My 06 MDS Hemi can get 20mpg with cruse set at 70mph. Only mods I have done so far is a K&N Filter and my Superchips is set to performance so I am running 91+ in it. I saw 4+mpg jump when I added those 2 items.
I have a small video on my cell phone showing me at 70mph then moving it to my display showing 20.x mpg. I will try to get it posted so it can be seen. I had filled up that morning and reset my trip and mpg before I left the gas station. I was in the middle of a 150 mile trip and checked and was suprised to see so I took a video of it. I had to drive 5 miles from the gas station to get to the highway so I had a little city but not enough to hurt the reading.

I can pull off 13.5 - 14.2 MPG on the highway (I tend to drive 100 mile stretches). I have a 2005 1500 with reg cab, long bed, and 4.7L. But, when I tow, I'm typically in the 4 - 6 mpg range... makes me want a diesel SOOOO bad. Around town I tend to floor it a lot so i'm in the 10.5 - 11.5 range.

I don't see how you guys are getting anything above 16mpg with gas. Mine is a 2006 1500 QC Hemi 4x4 that just tipped over 10K miles. Got 12.5-13.5mpg routinely when I had my foot in the floor on the highway all of the time. Now I have discovered that driving the speed limit with the cruise on (no A/C, go MDS go!) gets me about 15.7mpg. This is all calculated at the pump (89 octane), and I'm doing about 60% highway, 40% city. Actually got that stupid little fuel economy gauge to read 18.5mpg at it's peak. I felt proud.
