Hey man when you convert from L to Gallons what numbers do you use. When I do it 1 gal = 4.54L and 1 mile = 1.619km. So for example I usually use about 85L between fillups and the odometer reads about 420 ish km. So therefore I go 420km/1.619 = 260 miles. Part 2 is 85L/4.54 = 18.72 gallons. 260/18.72 nets me 13.88 mpg. This is about average for me and I have a 2500 and drive like a meth head. also where do you fill up Husky and Mohawk all use blended fuels so thats a mileage killer.The cold doesnt help and any sort of idling kills this too.

I can honestly say if I am driving really nice,no passing, doing 60mph(100km/h) I get an average of 17-18 on the highway. Now on the other hand if I am driving around town i get more like 8-10, Right now im probably around 6 average as its hunting season, and snowy, I like to romp on er a little more in the mud, 2.5 feet of snow lol.

this is with 35's

I just filled up tonight after making the tip to and from the hunting land plus driving around and I got 12.2 with highway doing about 75mph and the crack head sporting 24-26 is full these trucks will never get that unless you put it on permanent mds going down a hill with a tail wind following a semi lol pretty sure dodge doesnt even acknowledge these trucks getting that other wise they would your math is wrong or your comp is wrong and lying to you lol

It is no loss to me what you guys think, I don't understand the criticism and negativity hah. I was going to even ask how to get better gas mileage hah.

My 4.7L gets average 13.1 Mpg and I drive it decently hard
Also I know its horrible for it but Ive managed around 50miles+ from gas light many many times and still never had to put in 26gallons at the pump.
