How many Gallon/Liter did your fill up took? you got a 4cyln or 6 Cyln model?
How fast do you drive? City or highway?
355km/tank sounds normal if you got a V6. or City Driving.
Who told you 700km per tank? the sales man? they lied.

If you got a 4cyln, Set ur Cruise Control at 75km/hr, then you might get 700km/tank. Wait, no it won't, even my 1.8l Toyota Corolla barely gets me 550km/tank.

The Ram truck's Gas tank is twice the Size of ur car's gas tank.
It is about right for you and ur friend.

Here is what u do, Fill up the Gas tank until the pump click, reset the trip meter. next time when u fill up Gas, top it off, see how many liter you filled up, and Read the Trip meter. check how many KM you get per liter.

Chrysler product built for Fuel economy? First time i heard that...

i would disagree a bit. now a days finer tuned engines with more than 2.4 liter capacity are in the market. the best part is they do have great gas economy. of course not all of them.
