I've found with my driving style, the more capable the engine/gear ratio, the heavier my foot and worse the mpg... Comes with the fun Factor...

5th gen 2019 Laramie 1500 QC 4x2/v8/8spd/3.92 etorque
= Quick, will get out of it's own way in a hurry, Ok mpg, but I find I have a heavier foot now. I drive 35 mi to work each way so I see the impact at the pump. Fun factor is certainly there. ~ 17/20 mpg (21/22 mpg best I can get on a trip... See below)
(Owned 7mos 8800 mi)
From my current trip being light on the pedal running across SC (50/50 interstate & Hwy driving 72mph/62 mph & Lt traffic)....
