That's good mileage Redbud, most of my driving is stop and go in 35 and 45 zones. I managed to top out at 16.6 recently with no ethanol gas. I'm planning on swapping to royal purple at my next oil change, and once I hit 30k going to RP in the differential and tranny. I just put a taurus e-fan on, so I'm hoping to see at least 1 mpg from that.

i started calculating my mpg not too long ago. city i will average 13mpg when i drive like an old lady or old man. i mean keeping the rpm under 2k leaving the light and around 1.5k cruising. keeping it under 2k from a dead stop is really really hard to do. like a turtle.
highway i see 20mpg going 65mph and 23mpg going 55 behind a big rig. about 100-115 miles on 1/4 tank of gas freeway trips. I also have a tunneau cover over the bed with a 100lb speaker box inside
keeping in mind I never serviced my truck. been 3 years i put 10k miles on it, bought it with 40k on it. and 22' rims plus 2 12' subs in the bed....yes in the bed (have the single cab box for behind the seat but they dont get loud enough) hahahaa i love attention

Right now I am averaging 18 mpg....I drive 130 miles a day round trip for work 6 days a week.....the place isnt worth it but I do get an employee discount on vehicles from the dealership....I just wish I could bump it up closer to 20 mpg but I cant really complain about that for a truck.......thought about getting a cummins diesel in the 02-05 range since diesel is cheaper but cant really afford one right now so I will just keep doin stuff to help this RAM
