07 slt hemi with 20's went on first road trip last week went form Grand Forks ND to River Falls WI overhead computer said 20.3 MPG went 580 kilometers (354 miles) still had about 1/8 tank of fuel left
had cruise set at 110 km (68 mph). Coming home bucking 30mph winds was a different story.

 

That is very good. How many miles do you have on the Ram? I hear it gets better mpg after 5k or so. I cant wait.

 

I have just over 2000 kms that is about 1200 miles. I am a former lifetime Ford driver I can't believe how
much I like this truck if it had tow hooks it would be perfect.

 

That is'nt to bad for full size 4x4. I have 07 Quad cab 4x4. I have not gone on a trip yet but it is a 40 min drive 36 miles from work and backwithminer hills 4traffic lights 3 stops signs 55 to 75mph passing slow aces.I have K&N filtercharger, I got 350 miles. After exhaust was put on and2 tank of gas in truck. I'm actually still on2 tank I am getting almost 400 and I have got on it to listen to my new exhaust. You will get much better MPG not using the CRUISE.

Whut!

 

Am I the only one seeing the math all wrong. Correct me if I am wrong.

If you have a 26 gallon tank and you had 1/8 left, that means you used 22.75 gallons.
You travelled 354 miles. So 354/22.75=15.56 mpg, not your 20.3 overhead miles.

Please, if I am wrong correct me cause what his overhead and what he says dont make sense to me.

 

what the deuce?

 

tow hook on the front are offered as a $125 kit, and I plan to put a set on my Ram 1500 ST in the next few weeks...just about at 3.500 miles on mine and getting ready for the next oil change.

i put on a long trip on mine over x-mas. drove from the twin cities to big sky montana where our family has a place in the mountains. in mn on avg. i get about 15mpg. on that trip it flexed big time as to the location i was at. in montana i was getting over 17mpg up in the hills and probably because i was higher in altitude. i have the 4.7 flex fuel. i find it really hard to believe that you were getting over that. especially 20 mpg. my stealth barely gets that! oh and at that time i was from 5k - 8k on the odometer
