So like the titles says, broke into 14.10 mpg today when I filled up. Last fill up was 13.60. Thats the best mileage Iv gotten on my truck yet, pretty happy with it. Think if my oxygens sensors werent throwing a code it might be even better. Gonna switch from 93 tune to 87 see which one is better on the gas since I make the same drive twice a week now. should be interesting.

Really?! My in my '00 4x Ex Cab 360 with leveling kit and 34s I could pull 16 on the interstate cruise set at 80. If I was on the state roads, I'd see upwards of 18.

I was running a Hypertech on Premium Tune (always run Premium Gas too).

well I guess it's possible that there are more efficient magnum engines than others lol for those 16-18 mpg numbers congtats, pretty close to Hemi efficiency I believe

Funny thing there... Around town I got 13. My Hemi is getting 14.

Out on the highway I'm seeing low 20s though.

I got around 18mpg when I drove to South Dakota for my hunting trip. It was about 90% highway. It was nice :)

14 is a pretty significant increase from what I used to get so I'm happy :)
