don't know if i've posted already or not but after driving all summer strictly in town about 2 miles each way i'm getting about 10.5 babying it.
2007 thunder road QC 4x4 4.7 7400 miles.
I just filled up a few days ago and reset the DIC. On my hwy trip home with the cruise set at 60, I was seeing about 23mpg. Once I hit the traffic, it rapidly went down, but by the time I got home, It was right around 21. I've only filled up a few times so far, but i'm getting about 16mpg average with about 50/50 c/h. 05 1500 Hemi QC short bed, tonneau cover, 3.93's.
I should get 17/city & 19/hwy, but in my 2007 RAM QC HEMI I get about 7 in the city due to me taking off and showing overyone how a HEMI does the green lights, but when I go to my in-laws' in Austin, TX from Houston, TX, I've gotten up to 24mpg!!! You can feel the engine change from 8cyl. to 4cyl. when you're not smashing the gas. It feels good to to make a round trip like that on 1 tank of gas!!! Too bad that I only work 5 miles from my house and yet still use a tank a week...
2008 QC Hemi 4x4
I get 11.8 on average city, 12.8 mixed empty
If I'm towing, I get 14.1 city, 15.5 mixed. I dunno why but I have always got better gas mileage whenever I tow my car trailer and car around?????
I get 13.4 and that was with 4 months of 120 miles of highway a week and the rest city. and thats with babying the gas peddle!! hopefully my new K&N helps me out in the mpg dept.
