How about this? Went on a HUGE roadtrip this past summer (Oregon > Neveda > Utah > Colorado > Utah > Nevada > Oregon) and ended up with this:

2014 Quad Cab, 4WD, 5.7 Hemi. It ain't no Prius but I was mighty impressed with nearly 22 MPG on a trip as long as this.

That's not how forums work...You get everyone's opinion, like it or not.
I didn't ask for an opinion I asked for a result like it or not that's two different things. If I said do you care about gas milage your input would be valid however I asked what are your best results. To tell me no one cares doesn't in the least bit contribute to the topic so as stated before if you don't care bye trust me "no one cares" if you leave.

2019 Laramie crew cab, 2wd 5.7l hemi, 3.92 gears with 5500 miles on it. 400 mile trip to Disneyworld at 70mph, all interstate. 21mpg according to the EVIC, 20.3 by hand calc. Return trip was about the same but I included some city driving and averaged 18 by hand calc. Routinely get 15-16mpg around town unless I have a lot of short trips or get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, then the worse I've gotten is 13.5. Still is better than my '03 V6 Dakota that got 14-15 mpg around town and 18 on the highway. Amazing what the MDS and VVT can do on the new truck. Plus it will set me back in my seat if I press harder on the loud pedal. Still haven't tried a 0-60 run as I know I will light up the tires big time until I practice a bit.

30k miles. 32'' tires.

I set my cruise at 60mph with MDS disengaged. Had no cars in front of me. Traveled on flat roads.
I pulled over as soon as I got off the highway and hurried up to take a picture. Just in the time it took to pull over my average speed dropped and my average mpg dropped.

Before taking the picture I was at 24.8mpg and my average speed was 59mph.

On my steering wheel there are Gear + and Gear - buttons... Press Gear - once, then Gear + until you get to #8... and thats it.
I used to think I had to be stopped for it to work, but I found out even if you are in 2nd or 3rd gear your truck knows that... You wont suddenly shift down to 1st gear if you happen to be already rolling.
