Hey guys, Im new to the dodge trucks. Just picked up a 2002 ram 1500 Sport 4X4 with the 4.7.

My question is, I havent hit higher than 12.1 mpg, that is including highway driving. I have been light on the pedal also. The truck has 36,000 miles and runs perfect. I was thinking new spark plugs, and new air filter probaly K & N. Wha kind of gas mileage are u guys getting with your trucks, and my also a single cab...Thanks

If you will look at the top of the forum you will see a discussion about fuel mileage. Our trucks aren't know for their great gas mileage though, but changing the spark plugs might help a little bit. I average 13 mpg, but I'm an aggressive driver. I have a 2003 1500 2wd with the 5.9 engine.

 

I get about 14.8 in town and 22 on the highway. I ONCE hit 26mpg highway going across FL but I consider this a fluke as I cannot replicate it.

I have put in the Bosch Platinum +4 plugs, AIRRAM CAI, and had the FASTMAN widen my throttlebody to 70mm. For all this work (approx $400.00) I got 3-4 miles per gallon better.

Pretty much keeping your tires properly inflated and not "jumping" off the light all the time is about the best you can do.

 

Hey thanks guys, Yea i was just hoping on getting like 13-17 mpg between city and highway.
