2006 hemi ram rcsb 2 wheel drive I got 16.98 mpg today using the pen and paper method. My overhead floated around 17.2-17.6 for the entire tank. That's about 50/50 city and highway.

Yeah the heavy foot time has finally worn off on me with my hemi and mileage went from 12-13 to where it is now. I don't want speeding tickets and I like seeing good MPG out of my truck.

i refilled today. im at 800 miles. i had my MPG (as the overhead read) floating between (this was against strong winds) 9.3 and (when the wind died and the weather went back to normal) 14.3. so now its sitting in my driveway at 13.5 i believe. so it is gradually going up until it plateaus. so im happy with it. way better than my 06 v6 did! again, i love my HEMI!!

I installed the K&N cold air intake on my truck went through 2 tanks o gas,and I'm more than slightly disappointed. There is zero (0) difference in the mileage, I'm still at 10.5, and the power......well it must be getting lost somewhere pulling the trailer.OH WELL, I guess the fact that itLOOKS neater, more steam lined, should be enough, right ??????????
