First long trip . . .

[MajMike]

I went on my first long trip in the new-to-me Ram. About 1000 miles, no problems, got about 26 mpg in mostly hwy driving.

I recently had my first long trip with a new-to-me truck. About the same distance with a trailer. No issues, and got to play with the tow/haul mode.

Is that in an ECO Diesel? V6? I don’t see that MPG in a hemi. Best I’ve done in my hemi is just under 20 MPG hand calculated all highway miles. Don’t trust the EVIC, it is usually 1-2MPG above reality IME.

Yes he has an EcoDiesel (it's in his signature) with the 3.92 gearing also.
Unfortunately signatures don't show in Tapatalk.

Reviving.... My first long trip. 2015 Ram 1500 Big Horn, Hemi, 3.21, 4x2.
Took a trip from Atlanta ( EL. 1100 Ft ) down to Destin ( El 0 ).
Going there, EVIC read 25.7... which I thought was nonsense.
Coming home, I decided to hand calculate. 350 miles, 15.5 gallons = 22.6 mpg. EVIC read 23.6 mpg.
So, assuming go down hill from 1100 ft to 0 ft and applying the same ratio of EVIC to calculated, it is possible I got 24.5 mpg going to Destin. Not too bad.
Yes, MDS was on for 80% of trip.
89 octane gas.
