If you want mpg,buy a electric scooter...you bought a ram remember...
Nothin on the market gets good mpg at 75mph...slow down to 65 or 60 and gain some mpg if it mattets that much..10 mph slower doesnt make ya loose that much time,easier on the gear and will likely hive you close to an extra mile per gallon..

Good advice 60-65 is optimal. I got either 23 or 24 (I don't remember) mpg in my SLT on a trip to WV and back. Same mileage both ways.

OO going to have to cut in, Crotch Rockets 600CC still great gas mileage at 75. I've never noticed a difference in mileage whether I was doing 75 or 100 not that I was paying too much attention.

My 12 averages 13-14mph with 3.92 gears at 75 on interstate. I went to work today and my bar was showing around 20mph so I reset. I thought to my self...it must have broken in or something. Then I saw an american flag flying with probably a 20mph tail wind....lol...then I woke up.

I drove my '12 4x4 QC with 3.92s for about an hour and fifteen minutes at 70mph the other day. The computer showed 20.6 and then I did about 20 minutes in town driving before getting back on the freeway headed home at 70mph again. When I got off the freeway at my exit it was back up to 20.6 so I was pretty pleased with that.

The best I've been able to do is 17.5 average for any length of time. That was with 87 octane and mixed driving. I run 89 octane because it's recommended and average 15.5 to 16.5 most of the time.

I run 91...have since the first tank. I ran Superchips 91 on my last truck, so I figured I'd just stay in the habit for when I get a Trinity for this one.

Went for a 400km (250mi) drive today in my (new to me) 2011 1500 Big Horn. Averaged 14.5L/100km (19.5MPG)
Thinking that is pretty good, since I live in a pretty mountainous area. So, lots of hills, and, I didn't go light on the gas all the way. Of course, I had to see what it would do on the the highway. Then, I had to make a few passes on the passing lanes.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the mileage so far.
