2003 Ram 1500 4.7L Quad Cab
MPG - What are you getting (see title; only if you have this truck)
I'm getting 12mpg mix of city/highway probably 50/50 but this is also me trying to get the best mileage as possible (cruising when I can, driving the speed limit, etc)
Shouldn't I be getting better gas mileage?
Also, I have 75,000 miles and haven't really done much to the truck besides short ram intake and flowmaster muffler/dual exhaust. I should probably do a tune up soon(never had one), but the truck seems to be running great, idle is smooth and no noticeable problems.
anything else I should do at this mileage? maintenace-wise?

ah i forgot to add. I get a check engine code every once in a while (ever since I bought the truck) sometimes it will stay out for weeks/months then other times it will go out and come back the next day. the code says something about "purge flow" I believe... the mpgs have always been this way as well. avg 11-12mpg even with a good bit of highway driving.
