5.7 Hemi
Just filled up with 93 octane gas and took this pic from the EVIC. It held 29.85 gallons as I was trying to burn out the 87 to put in some 93 as the weather is starting to warm up and spark knock is rearing its ugly head burning the 87. I love my Hemi. My commute to work is mostly 35 MPH zones and 45 MPH zones so I actually average this or even higher MPG. The stated range is just fantastic IMO. Who needs a V6 when the Hemi does this good? :)

I too have been very impressed with the Ram 1500 mpg. My Ford F150 4x4 averaged about 16 mpg. The 5.7 Hemi is averaging about 18.3 to 18.6 with no change to my service area or driving style.

Wish I'd been driving this truck back when gas was pushing $4.00 a gallon for regular unleaded.

I've been averaging 14 US mpg with my lift kit and 35's this winter. My drives are mostly in city with lots of remote start lol! When only highway driving it is between 17-18 US mpg. Not bad for a lifted truck!

Before my lift I was getting 20-21 US mpg. Can't be upset with those numbers!

Since I replaced my air filter and the temps are getting a little more mild, my economy has gone from 14.7 up to 18.3 and that is with speeds between 75~80mph on the freeway and 60mph on the back roads, with a heavy foot....
