sounds about average

4K mile update. I have been betting consistentry 9.2-9.8mpg. At 4K miles it was like a timer went off and now I‘m getting 11.5-12mpg. I’m thinking the newness is wearing off and I’m driving better, is my guess. Or does ram make some changes every few thousand miles? Or is it everything getting worn in a little better. We may never know.

If you are going by the evic you may get a surprise. My first trip out the evic read 18.5 mpg but actual mileage was 16.96 This was at 65 mph for 280 miles.

Agreed. Seems like the higher the average speed, the wider the gap is between the EVIC and hand calculated mileage.

Finally got to do a long run with my 1 ton 6.4. Got 17.5 mpg according to the display. Those are never right so thinking around 16 or so. Have 1700 miles on my 2021 1 ton crewcab.

I've made the trip from NC to NJ a couple times. Strictly highway, 65-75 MPH cruise control, I get 18-19 MPG hand calculated. Around town, stop and go, it drops off to 12-13 MPG.

Towards the end of my old truck 2016 ram w 6.4 it was getting 10 and 13 mpg. My new truck 2022 ram w 6.4 gets 13 around town and 16-17 hand calculated. In my defense, I have a lead foot cause of living in NJ

There is a couple things going on here. One being, one your first update it was winter & most stations run a winter blend during this time which lowers mine 2+ mpg. Your second update is back in the summer blend plus you have likely broken in your engine which will yield better mpg. Longest it ever took one of my vehicles to break in was 5,000 miles. I rarely hand calculate my mpg because my EVIC has never been off more than 1 mpg so I just keep that in the back of my mind when I read it. Enjoy your new truck! I have absolutely loved mine.
