I have a 2022 Ram 1500 with 5.7 Hemi - not the etorque engine- I get 16 mpg-
Is there anything that can be done to increase gas mileage?

No but you could always buy electric vehicle. My 2022 with e-torque gets 16.4 mpg,sI have a 2022 Ram 1500 with 5.7 Hemi - not the etorque engine- I get 16 mpg-

WHAT all said above and: Control of the Skinny Pedal and common sense driving, and Good Tier 1 Gasoline helps. I run 89 Octane, and once in a blue moon throw in some 91. If towing, definitely 89 Octane. Also proper PSI on tires helps and no jack rabbit starts. Also, really takes a while for the motor to "break in a lil", yer MPG will improve a bit. All IMHO.Don't worry about your milage, it's a truck. Enjoy it like other members stated. if you want an economy vehicle you're in the wrong category
Nope, that's about the lifetime avg for the Hemi 1500's on Fuelly.com.I have a 2022 Ram 1500 with 5.7 Hemi - not the etorque engine- I get 16 mpg-

I have non-E torque, which I like, and sometimes, it gets rather thirsty passing a go go fluid place, but overall, does well, and it is a Hemi. See my post #12 ref mpg.Nope, that's about the lifetime avg for the Hemi 1500's on Fuelly.com.
My truck is in the high 15mpg range (hand calculated) over the last 50k miles. I run 89oct, and do mostly highway driving.. she just has a bad drinking problem.
I agree that you can have your cake and eat it too. I disagree that you get that with a normally aspirated motor that was introduced in 2003 with an update/revision in 2009.I'd offer a slightly different opinion...I DO care about MPG. I knew full well what I was getting into by buying a a half ton truck with a V8, but that does not at all negate the fact that MPG is important to me as I had to pick the best vehicle to do the many jobs that I need it to do, one if which is commuting 120 miles/day, 95% freeway. It's part of the entire economic/value decision in getting a half ton. So for the folks that think "it's a truck, screw the mileage" well maybe that mentality works for you and your situation but it doesn't for a lot of us. I'm hyper focused on mpg AND I own a full size V8 truck...those two notions are not mutually exclusive.
to the OP - I have no explanation for this but I regularly see folks with quite similar trucks have completely different mpg experiences. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, as when I'm calculating my commuting mileage I average 19.5 on winter fuel and 20.9 on summer fuel. I usually set the ACC to 72mph and those are the results. There is notable change depending on speed of course...just 3mph either way makes quite a difference. I do also notice that tires make a large difference on these trucks. On the generally rare occasions when I'm mixing city/hwy driving for a tank, I usually average 16...like most.
