Default RE: 09 Ram 20% More Fuel Efficient

So, its already (up to) 20% more efficient...I wonder how many more MPG Dodge engineers can squeeze out of this thing once they add in the hybrid system for 2010.

Should be interesting to see a full size truck getting nearly 30mpg highway...which is better then my Neon most of the time [:-].

that's better than a lot of cars most of the time. really comes down to how much right foot you put into it, too.

I'd be interested to see how a broken in engine works, when you're babying it trying to get the most MPGs possible out of it. I bet you could get 25+ on one of the new Hemi's
