So I tried a search and came up with nothing. Sorry if this is a repost.

What kind of MPG are you 5.7 guys and gals getting? What setup are you running on your rig? I'm still bone stock and I get between 11.5 to 12.5 in town and 14 to 15 highway

I really have never seen a stock ram get better mileage than one that has done the basic mods (CAI, Exhaust, Tuner)

bigbadram1500 · Jan 5, 2011

12-13 with a mix of city and highway. I am running superchips, BFI, leveled, 34" tires, and exhaust.
This is the same mpg I got when the truck was stock.

Best it ever got was 16 mpg on the interstate going to New York with these mods.

With everything listed in my sig, I get 12.5-15 city (how heavy my right foot dictates which) and average 17-19 highway.
I also have 3.92 gears and stock lsd

13-17 depending on city or highway with the mod list below.

Austin,
What gears are you running? Big heavy truck with big tires and tall factory gears won't do much for mileage.

according to the build sheet the dealer pulled up for me with all the options and stuff it said i have 373 gears. im thinkin about bumpin them up to 410s. i drive alot on the highway and country backroads so i dont want anything too low

Just for informational purposes, here is a good gear ratio chart to go off of:

Redtruck-VA · Jan 10, 2011

I am afraid that is a old school chart and doesn't apply to the newer vehicles with one or more overdrives. Check Danny's thread on his 4:56 install. I think he said he is turning 2400 at 70 mph on 32 inch tires. I have 4:10 and turn 2100 at 65 on 30.5 inch tires. IMO dodge totally failed on their gearing.
