Default Fuel Mileage with a ctd
Hey guys. I'm about a year, I want to get rid of my 360 96 ram and get a CTD. Tow every once in awhile but mostluy high wya miles. I was wondering what you guys got for mileage with a 4x2, 4x4, and auto or manual.

2005 4x4 q/c 35 inch tires, leveling kit. I average 16 mphs, that is without being shy with the 4x4, 1/2 freeway and 1/2 streets, I let my truck run between 1-3 minutes before turning it off.

Oh man with a little over 2500 miles on a new 5.9 4X4 Megacab is seeing 19.5 on long trips. Just drove to, and then back from Kentucy; saw 19+ the whole way.

Try using Drews Brew and see if that improves it. I am happy with my 16 mph's, slightly less then the hemi but gas is much cheaper, it more than equals itself out for me.

I started at around 13-14mpg and at 18k miles, I'm up around 18-19mpg @ 75mph.

Right now with no additives, I'm right at 13.6mpg with an auto tranny. I live in the city, and when I'm on the highway, I tend to be on the long and skinny.
