RE: new to the boards!!!
Welcome to the boards!
What engine do you have? If it's the 5.7 Hemi, highway miles will save your mileage. If you do a lot of in-town driving like me, stay off the gas. I try to not exceed 2000-2300 RPM around town. I'm getting about 19-21 on the highway and 13.5-16 in town. I was filling up a Malibu before I got this thing, so it was a shocker my first time at the pump.
If you have the 4.7, just take it easy. Highway miles probably won't show the same results as they don't have the MDS (unless they started that on the '07s?). As for the v6, I don't know much about those at all.
Either way, good luck and enjoy your truck. How 'bout some pics?
