Notes.................................. This was only my second tank of fuel and the first one that I put in myself. I drove it like it tells you to in the manual to break in the engine. In other words, I was going full throttle from time to time while around town. I saw anything from 12.1 to 14.5 on the computer while driving. The 13.4 was what it read when I was filling up.

Hello all, I just discovered this forum and Im glad I did, lots of good info here. I just bought my 09 Quad SLT last week and am still in the honeymoon phase....havent had a new vehicle in 16 years...

Anyway:

Year.................................... 2009
Model.................................. Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4x2 with 3.21s, 20" Rims
Engine................................. Hemi
Highway percent................... 90
City percent......................... 10
Location.............................. LA, CA
Octane................................ 87
Hand or computer calc........... Computer
Miles on truck....................... 300
MPG.................................... 21-22 mpg
Mods................................... none
Notes..................................

This mileage was shocking to me, I didnt think Id see it this high, however, there is probably a good reason. This represents a trip from LA to Palm Springs and was during my break-in period. I made the trip driving mostly 60 mph, occasionally stabbing it with full throttle accelerations. Traffic was light. I got 22.2 mpg avg on the computer outbound, and around 20-21 coming back with the air conditioner on.

Im happy to say the least.

I punched it a couple times in town but mainly a soft pedal. MPG was figured via my last tank full. Ran it almost empty. I use the same gas station and allowed it to auto shutoff (gas pump handle) to be as consistent as possible. Real happy with this baby!
