What kind of mpg you get with your 3.6 Ram?

I drive 50% City-50% Highway.

Average and only city?

I have 11000 miles on my 17 that I bought in April. I drive probably 80% highway, speed limit is mostly 60-65, and I drive the speed limit (can't afford a ticket, don't want to waste money, plus gas mileage is better), and I average 25 mpg most of the time. My worst tank has been 21 mpg, and that was towing a trailer. My best has been 30.2 mpg.
I believe mine is on the top end of gas mileage, but I also drive like a grandpa.

I have a 2wd Express regular cab.

I only have about 1500 miles on mine, bought in July. More around town than highway, average is 19.8 per the display, which has never been reset. (4x4 quad cab)

24.8 average according to the dash. I drive mostly rural roads, mostly empty/unladen (with the occasional livestock trailer once in a great while), and I only go into the city (and its traffic) 1-2x a week.

Should mention that I use 89 octane gas most of the time (87 is the cheapest in Oregon, with no E85 available around here that I'm aware of.)

My RCLB, 2WD, 3.55 rear end. I drive mostly highway 75-80 MPH with some city I get 23 MPG usually. I just filed up from 1/2 a tank with non ethanol going to see how she likes it. The Saturn that was my daily before I got the Ram picked up 3 MPGs on the non ethenol vs. E10.

1700 mi so far and 60/40 hwy/ city will get me 24-25. Towing #2000 trailer 18/19 driving the speed limit or under. I do watch my current mpg display and control the throttle to get better mpg. I seem to be inline with the other posts so I'm guessing they are driving with mpg in mind also. I am very happy with the mpg my 3.6 is getting and the power is plenty good for my needs.

PS I always calculate and is 1 to 2 under readout.

That’s nothing.

My truck gets such good gas mileage that I have to siphon some out from time to time.
