MPG on 5.7 Hemi

[nwsewell]

19 classic. 5.7, 8spd, 3.21's. I average 11.5, mostly city with some highway.
On my straight highway driving, I typically see about 21-23 depending on road conditions, cruise control set at 65.
On just city driving I typically get 9.5-10.5mpg.

Mods include vararam, AGS delete, and pedal commander (set either on city+3 or sport for city driving, eco-4 for highway trips)

4x4 hemi, 6 speed, 3.55. In canadian mileage,i got 29 average on my 1100 mile round trip last week. 30-31 there (must of had a tail wind) 28 back (head wind? some driving rain for sure. i also brought back 100 lb of table saw and extra golf clubs now that i think about it) 4000 miles on truck by the time i got back. 500 lb of me and my son in the cab.

29 imperial average works out to just over 24 US mpg average driving 65 to 70 mph.

I’m finding that if i fill when I’m at half a tank, my mileage, calculated manually, is about 1 mpg better than if I wait to fill up when I’m near empty. Does this make sense to anyone?

 

[TerraNewf]

12.6L/100kms average. Not sure what that equates to in miles/gallon US. I'm happy, 13470 kms so far

My MPG seems to start going down around 3/8 of a tank (I have the 33 gallon tank so not sure if that makes a difference). I'm not sure how these trucks work (this is my first RAM and I've only had it 4 months) but my last truck was a gravity feed to an external fuel pump. The higher the tank level, the more pressure it applied to the suction of the pump, the better the pump ran. As the tank empties the pressure at the suction of the pump goes down and so does the efficiency of the pump. Not sure if that's the same thing that's happening hear but it seems like it.

19 Laramie 4x4 3.92 - Phoenix to Montana road trip pulling a TT.

 

[Fatbob Frank]

10.3 isn't great ,but how well did it pull?

In march I made two trips from DFW to Taos and Red River new mexico and back. got 18-19. mountain driving and flatlands in between mostly with cruise on 77. about 650 miles each way. last week towed my 6000# travel trailer to Texas hill country and back. 670 miles round trip averaged 9.3 at mostly around 68-70. 5.7 with 3.92 gears

Interesting mileage, I have 3.21 and see about the same mileage when towing 4800. I added a Leer top to see if it helps, hoping to get above the 9 mpg when towing, I would be happier with 11 or 12.

2019 1500, 3:21
1330 miles trip, 19.8, NOT hand calculated.

Hand calculated, can be 0.50 -1.0 less MPG.

This was I70 in Kansas, @ 79 MPH, and 2 lane hwy at 68 mph

Truck has 37,000 miles on it.

I don't run ethanol, or it drops 2 MPG consistently.

My 2013 set up identical loved ethanol, even the E30, have the same MPG.

Odd my 2019 doesn't like ethanol.

Love the 2019 improvements!

21-23 mpgs till I put bigger All-Terrain tires on it...

I got mine on Sunday and have 100 miles on it, 3.21 4x4 and I’m getting like 11 miles to the gallon, how do you get that?

 

[Glenn54]

You don't have enough miles on your truck to be concerned just yet. What kind of driving are you doing, city, highway, hills, etc.?
