infernoredram · Jan 27, 2012

Wow that's awesome seeing these big V8s hitting the 20's! Man..I thought I was cool getting 17-18 city 21-25 HWY with the CTD lol (with some helpful mods lol)

On my R/T there was a time coming back from class and I reset it and was getting 22 mpg while going 60. On the way back to my house from picking up the 2012 I got 18.7 going 70 for about 28 miles and 2 miles of 45 mph city(I reset it right when I left the lot)

I get around 16-17 with mixed driving, 70% highway~, and about 13-14mpg towing 6500-7200lbs behind me

First tank done this week I got 17 mpg..

With my 5.9 gasser i get between 6 and 12 mpg... 12 highway highest ever was 14 going on a 2 hour trip unloaded. This is the main reason im going to upgrade at some point.

I did a 60 mile trip last week and kept it in eco mode as much as possible. Ran between 65 and 73 and got 21.4.

Have a 2wd quad cab with 3.21 ratio.

With my tuner I get 16-17.5 mpg if the hwy is flat all the way .

same here although I have pulled down over 20 when cruise was set and was going 55 mph with my 4.56 gears right after install.

Howdy,

'10 QC Big Horn Hemi w/ 3.92 gears & 275/60-20's

I live in rural Arkansas and with daily driving I'm in the 18.5mpg range with my lead foot.

I can drive to Little Rock and back and average over 20 mpg if I drive the speed limit.

I've made 2 trips to Dallas and I averaged 19.2 and 19.3mpg and that's driving over the speed limit the entire trip, plus stop and go construction traffic driving with 4 adults and luggage w/ the A/C going too.

When the "man" states 20mpg highway mileage he means driving at a steady 55mph on a perfectly flat plane at sea level with a 80lb driver and a tail wind, not driving 75mph with 3 adults and 500lbs of cargo in the hill country.

Ok back from Phoenix, Got 17mpg at average speed of 70mph w/cruise control. Guess that's as good as its gonna get and I dont care, the ride was comfortable and had power.
Love my little Hot Rod truck!

Stangshcky12 · Feb 22, 2012

Come summer time you may see a little more out of your truck. Even in CA they use some winter additives in the fuel and your motors still breaking in
I believe my dad has been averaging 10.5-11.5 in his 11 big horn. He pretty much just drives it to work and back which is 5 miles away with 9 stop signs I think lol
He did average 20.5 and 21 mpg on two trips this summer which had him all excited haha

Heres what I get on interstate, 20 mile commute.

Sent from my DROIDX

CAM~OUTDOORSMAN · Feb 22, 2012

if you don't have a lot of stop and go i can average around 20 to 22 on the highway. if you go the speed limit. other than that i get in the low teens in the city. love the power though. does anyone else love the looks you get from ford owners when you take off from a stop light. lol. i love it when their jaw is in their lap

Pricejh · Feb 23, 2012

Love my 1500 5.7L 4x4. Usually get about 16 on the commute (half town and half freeway). Got 19.5 last weekend on a run to Alabama running about 67 average. Just wonder how the TT is going to hit the mileage this summer.

smiley · Feb 23, 2012

I think I get worse mileage with MDS on. I am still testing but seems bad.

Up or down?

09SMOKINHEMI · Feb 24, 2012

anyone ever try the "gas saver" tune on their truck? is it noticable? does it severely reduce power?

garner · Feb 24, 2012

Never paid attention to it in the ram world but in the mustang world a lot of people got worse mpg with a 87 fuel economy tune than a 91 or 93 performance/race tune

garner · Feb 24, 2012

So did a little highway today and at 70 with cruise control my instant was even with my average arrow(14.1). I think the bumper is really killing my fuel economy
