Default What should I expect

What kind of gas mileage should I get?

2006 RAM 1500
4.7L
Auto
3.55 Differential
68000 miles

I try to drive pretty conservatively and still get 13-14 mpg. Is this what this truck gets?

Thanks for your honest replies!

Bob

1500 + 4.7 + 3.55 gears = you shouldn't expect any

Why? It runs fine. I know it's not a hemi but it serves my purposes.

Dude!


They're kidding---really. With a gear change, the gas mileage would be better, but there's plenty of guys on here with the same combination.
