I would be curious as to your current mpg average, along with the manufacture setup on your Ram build.

That information can be useful as to what kind of mileage you can expect or achieve. Mileage between members here vary quite a bit, likely just driving habits based on the environment each of us encounter daily.

LU is right. Driving habits make a huge difference. I get about 17 in my 2012 5.7 with 3.92 rear end. I am easy and smooth with the throttle, and coast as much as possible when coming up to red lights. Also 65 gets better mileage than 75 because mds pretty much stops after 65 or 70.

As an example, when I drive my wife's kia I get 27.x MPG, when she drives it she gets 24. She is more of a lead foot starting from red lights.
