So Ive been getting around 11 in my Ram and Ive added a K&N Filter and 40 Series Flowmaster. Gas Mileage didnt change a bit after those additions. Anyone have any quick and easy tips to adding some mpg's? What are some of yall getting?
I HAVE BEEN GETTING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 13.5-16.5, DEPENDING ON WHAT I HAVE NO IDEA. I DONT ALWAYS BUY GAS AT THE SAME STAION BUT BELEIVE IT WOULD MAKE THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE. BTW, ARE YOU RUNNING 89 OCTANE? WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY TRUCK I WAS RUNNNING 87 AND MPG'S SUCKED.
My truck is stock and I am getting from 18 to 24, granted thats me driving it very easy, which is hard to do. When i do drive it hard i get around 13 to 16.
Need more info on the truck. What year? RC or QC? Lifted? Mud Tires or Street tires? Was it just a muffler and filter replacement or was it a cat-back and CAI?
When I got my truck it got 13-16 , I was driving it real hard and fast everywhere. Now I am real (REAL) easy on the gas pedal, I try to keep it under 50 mph and on the interstate I put cruise on 65 or 70. I have been getting readings off the over head console and I have been calculating by pen and paper, I have been watching it now for about 4 tanks full and I have been getting great mileage. Best yet is 24mpg. My truck is 100% stock, I am getting ready to add KN CAI and a Cat back exhaust system. Hope fully this will not hurt my mpg to bad, Ill keep ya posted.
Thanks, I'm curious if the CAI and exhaust improve your mileage-I have heard good and bad results, mostly good though and I am toying with the idea of getting at least a CAI. I don't have an overhead console since I only have an ST, but I have been calc-ing by gallons filled divided by miles driven. Really thought I'd be doing much better though, even in the rolling hills of SE Pa.
Seahawks, need more specs on truck: Year, model, cab, 4x4 or 4x2, etc.
However, I'd say you have some issues going on. I have a huge, heavy (almost 7000 lb.) heavily modified, NON-MDS, Hemi 4x4 and I consistently get 13.5 in all around driving and about 16 on trips...
