I get about 9.5 to 10 mpg from home to work (6 mile round trip) No other driving.Best on the highway was New Orleans to Destin, FL inrainthe entire way about 55 to 60 mph. average on the computer was 19.4. Went to Georgia for Labor Day weekend average about 17.3.
But what are you guys doing to try to increase mileage? I added a tonneau cover not for increased mileage but to protect stuff in the truck. What about exhaust? Flowmaster, Magnaflow, or something else? I have a K&N filter in the box, but I want to add the cold air intake. My son just put a 1 into 2 flowmaster on his 99 Dakota Sport, so I don't know what his mileage is.

19.1 mpg highway
20.3 mpg city

 

UPDATE: After installing my new wheels and tires (35")mpg is back down to 13.2 from 15.3 after installing a CAI and exhaust.[:@]

 

How did you pull that one off?

 

still stock about 16 mpg

 

my trucks getting about 19mpg highway also.


but i'm sure my truck weighs a lot less. And thats only when i baby it. If i'm playing around then I get like 10-12 mph. 4.7 2002 39k miles

 

I commute about 115 miles round trip a day on nothing but pretty flat interstate. If I keep it 75mph or below I get the 19, but it starts falling off rapidly if I take it any higher.

Around town, I just drive like the tires have glue. The exhaust sounds good no matter what speed, so the sound keeps me happy. Occasionally, I do have to walk the dog on the Chevies though.

 

hey got a 2004 4.7 quad cab 5 speed. SLT. the electronic reader says about 22 ish freeway at 70 w/o airconditioner and windows down. in the city about 15-17 depending if im in a hurry or not. and when i rest it at freeway speed, and i cme off the freeway and make the 2 mile treck to my house, it stays at about 20. im hoping that after next weekend when i get m exhaust and intake i get a lil better

 

also, i got the stock 20's and a toneau cover. at 52k on motor

 

what to do to get more mpg from 4.7 v8 03 ram quadcab 2 wheel drive, with 41,000 miles 15.5 combined now?
