I am shopping for a new truck, considering a dodge Quad Cab 4x4
with a Hemi, but there seems to be some foggy ground
with the "Real MPG" that is being achieved. I am just curious about
whether the 17ish figures that I have been reading about are referring
to US Gals or Imp Gals?

Thanks...

My truck is not a 4x4, but I have got a hemi. It's an 06 model, and I get around 14.5 to 15 mpg in town, and around 18 - 19 mpg out on the open road. Keep in mind that this is with really easy driving, I don't ever get over 2000 rpms on take off or open driving. Also this is putting the pen to the paper, I don't look at the overhead computer, it does not tell the truth.

 

US gallons. If you poke around the forums, most of the hemi guys are averaging 17-18 mpg on the highway.

 

Similar to those above.

I DO get on it, heavy foot I guess.

12-13 in town
17-19 highway

*I have a SI/DO exhaust, Amsoil AAE air filter, and an Airaid Modular Intake Tube rather than the "Hemi Hat" resonator.

 

Here in the hills of New Jersey, about 13 local, 17 highway. Local drops to 11-12 in the winter, highway stays the same. Have the 20s with a 3.55 rear and it is pre MDS.

 

Around 16 city/23 hwy....17's and a 3.55 rear

 

US gallons, and you will be somewhere between crappy mileage and REALLY crappy mileage.

 

I get about 16-17 in the city... and have only had my truck a few months and haven't hit the interstate yet... my friend just borrowed it to move from Ohio so I will find out what he got on the interstate...

 

^^^Nice stang bro..

 

14-15 mpg city
16-17 mph hwy
