First Dodge
I've always been a Chevrolet guy and today a bought a 2006 Dodge quad cab, 4wd, Sport, 20", MDS Hemi. Like it a lot, 16.5 mpg on first tank. 15.6 on the second. How much better can I expect the fuel mileage to get as I only have 1000km on it now? It's got all the power in the world but what upgrades will give me more MPG?

Welcome to DF Tony!! Congrats on the new truck and I would expect about the 15 to 17 range maybe.

Welcome to the site!!! With a 4WD Quad Cab Hemi, you're in the ballpark for mileage. As the engine gets broken in, it should go up a little. Synthetic oil and fluids will also give it a boost.
