Yeah I can definitely see that. Is it hand calculated?

Longest trip I've done with my 6.4 2500 3:73 gears is about 300km and I averaged right around 18mpg

Every day driving (as in my fuelly sig) I've seen around 16.6mpg. Lifetime average at 15.5mpg.

Pretty incredible considering what a beast these trucks are.
I do drive like a bit of a grandpa though :)

Single rear wheel, short bed, crew cab. Figured out by hand and matched vehicle readout. I also towed a car home from ohio, grossing approx 14,000lbs and got 14 mpg

I get around 16.8 mpg in my '14 300C AWD 5.7 - mostly city

Having said that - 15.5 mpg on an HD 6.4 truck is excellent

How are you guys getting decent mpgs? I'm getting around 12 mpg in city.

My truck's a 2012 Ram 1500, 5.7 hemi engine, 3.55 gears, and 6 speed. I take it that the 8spd is really kickin up the mpg?
