Greetings all. Asking about my 2018 Ram. Is there a difference in the factory tuning between countries, and could this influence MPG?
When I got this in 2019, I had no idea but apparently this was a Canadian truck for the first year of its life. I had always thought that my MPG was a hair low, and in fact when I first looked at it, the MPG sheet in the window was exactly 1 mile less than what my research had told me.
My MPG seems to be dropping. The other day, I drove about 150 miles in KS at about 80 MPH and I am guessing my final tally will be something slightly less than 17, when I used to drive the same stretch and get a bit above 19. Seems like I used to turn about 2,000 RPMs and now am about 2,300 RPMs.
So, I am going to start a search for ways to improve this. My first is just understanding if there is a difference in the tune that explains my initial results of never really getting the mileage I expected, and the lower MPG number on the window sheet.
Probably will be another post to follow more about the mileage, I just like to try and isolate variables.
