Gas mileage

garner · Dec 18, 2010

After seeing threads about mpg for other engines I thought I'd start one for the hemi and so that the new guys can see what gas mileage we're getting.

List: gas mileage city and highway, miles per tank, mods that have helped, mods that have hurt, and miles on truck

I'll start. 12 city, 17 highway, little over 300 miles a tank, no mods except for factory 4.10 gears, about 1100 miles on truck

I average 15.5 mpg with my Hemi and all my other mods. Mostly city driving too.

I average 16 to 17 in the city and when i take it to pa i get 23 by the dig cluster i never checked it manually and as for the mods i have k&n cai, and programmer and i have lear tonnue cover with spoiler (which i think hurts it, not sure) but i am very pleased with the truck.

mine average is comparitively less 13 miles to 15 miles depending on road... I thought this is allright but after see this post I had a dout about my average.. I check it twice till today... anyone can help me with this!!!

Im about manually calculated 13-14.5 city... depending how I drive, and 16-17.5 highway. Best ever was 19.3 manually calculated driving from Arkansas to Louisianna. I attribute it to the Volant and the E-fan. Saw the best gains from those. When I first bought it stock, I was at like 14 average with 70% highway/30% city driving. Never saw more than 15 mpg pure highway driving, when it was stock. Never lower than 350 per tank...24 gallons usually on full fillup.

2010 Ram 1500

QCSB 3.92 gearing

Highway- 19.5-20.00
City- 12.0-17.00 Depends on how pissed I am at other drivers. Those who have talked to me on the phone while I was driving know my frustrations.

Damn Chris! That MDS is pretty ******* huh? Nice mileage in a nice truck!

Laramie1997 · Dec 20, 2010

Coasting FTW.

Mileage right now reads 14.5 on mine, but I've been idling alot with the cold weather.

Lucky. I'm only reading like 11.8 city and I just filled up and my dte is 270

You also have 4.10 gears, and a couple other differences don't you? Also, I bet the more miles you put on it, the better your mileage will get, kinda like a break-in.

Yeah I have 4.10, he has 3.92. I'm regular cab, he's 4 door. I have a little under 1200, he has more. I have a like 3500 stall tc(not sure if that means anything). Also I only drive about 11 miles on an average day to school and back

Laramie1997 · Dec 20, 2010

See, my trips are more along the lines of 30 miles each way and I've got 7900 on the clock.

Dang dude! I'm just now licenced and I do better on gas without flooring it most the time lol well at least I try to...

Trupiano · Dec 20, 2010

To each there own! When I had my 90' Honda CRX I use to spin tires at every stop light, and floor it everywhere... granted I only had like 90 HP. But still, it's fun! I still like to drive like that sometimes... go speed racer go! But this truck doesn't exactly cut in between people on the highway like that matchbox car lol.

ramthis9501 · Dec 20, 2010

Lol that sounds fun! If I get that Neon, then I'll definitely smoke the tires lol

I did a run over the summer - 100 miles to CoMO. MDS on for the trip there, MDS off on the way back. Difference? .2 mpg. Not worth it!

No kidding huh? I thought the mds was a big deal... my supervisor has a 2010 and gets like 18-20 mpg. I always attributed it to the mds. Maybe the newer models just get that much better mpg.

0212353 · Dec 20, 2010

My 08 I could pull 18-19. My 10.......same.

Trupiano · Dec 20, 2010

Guess they're just really efficient! Good job chrysler!
