Any chance of getting near 20 mpg?

Also, how does $5200 sound for this truck in good condition with 48k?

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to being a Ram owner!

Its really hard to tell what kind of gas mileage you will get. reading the forums there doesn't seem to be any consistency in any of the different variation of newer dodges.

At the top the the 2nd gen forum is a post of mileage members are getting in their vehicles, their maybe some that match your vehicle to give you an idea.

I have never gotten 20 MPG on a tank. My driving is like 80% highway 20% in town. I consistantly get 17 to 18 for a tank of gas. As a comparison, I get 25 when I drive my Town & Country on the same route. That said, the difference is only like $1200 a year in gas for me - Totally worth it! (Saturday I put a ton of topsoil in the bed, and relandscaped my side yard. can't do that in anything that gets 25MPG!)

I know yours would probably be the 3.9 - mine's a 3.7 but I would be suprised if there is much of a difference.
