I everyone. I just bought a 2008 ram 1500 quad cab 4x4 n I luv it. :-) is there anything I can do to maybe get a little extra gas mileage then what I'm getting?

 

Welcome to DF. Will move you to the correct spot.

What are you getting?

 

Don't push on the accelerator. I get between 11 and 12 with my 06 Mega Cab.

 

You already owned a Durango with a Hemi. If mpg's were an issue, why would you buy another Hemi? I'm just saying,

Better mpg's: You could park it and just look at it while drinking beer?..lol

Not a whole lot you can do man. Go easy on'er.

I do know that lifting them in any way doesnt help, nor does adding bulky tires.
Tune-up. Copper plugs and some injector cleaner. Just keeoing up on the maintenance will yield OEM mpg's.

 

I'm getting about 15 mpg

 

Well my Durango even with 225xxx miles on it still gets 17mpg but looking at it while drinking a few beers is a good idea too lol.

 

The best way to get good gas mileage with a truck like this is to do what I do -- drive a 4-cylinder car for a daily driver and use the truck what it's intended purpose, which is hauling heavy material.

My '07 Ram can pull a trailer loaded with 4,000lbs of material much more efficiently than my '06 Mazda Mazda 3; however, my Mazda is more efficient for my 30 mile one-way drive to work each day as well as small side trips.

Honestly, people who buy a truck and complain about the "lousy mileage" shouldn't own a truck.

 

15's about the norm.

 

I wish I was getting 15.
