MPG Update on 2019 Laramie 4X4 Hemi 3.92

[Dusty]

One leg of driving through the mountains last week after filling up in Jasper. Some legs go worse mileage, some slightly better, Considering the amount of hills and being at 65 mph for most of the trip I thought this was pretty good for a 2500, 6.4 with 3.73s with about 6000 miles on the truck. Total trip 1100 miles Edmonton to 108 mile house B.C., touring and return. Hand calculated total mpg over the 1,100 mile trip was 18.6.

Your Fuel Economy Gauge Is Fibbing | Edmunds

While the gauges can be useful, they typically report that your fuel economy is better than it actually is.

Don't know about others, but the lifetime deviation from EVIC to hand calculated across 172 fillups is 0.22%.

Thanks for your service. Keep in mind, this is a privately owned forum. Not controlled by the government, thank God. So, "free speech" as described in the Constitution does not apply. But, even then, we all know our Government in both isles has a very bad reputation on "free speech". None-the-less, the owners of this forum have rules, and yes they do and legally can limit speech. Again, it's private, not government.

I hear that point all the time. The Constitution only applies to the government not infringing on our free speech. But, I do not know anyone that does not expect to have his or her freedom of speech to be applied everywhere and by everyone. Our Freedom of Speech is deeply rooted in society and the norms. This forum may censor me. But not for my opinion. More than likely for being rude and obnoxious. Opinions and Freedom of Speech are de facto sacrosanct. Constitution notwithstanding.

But then , its only my opinion.

My 2020 RAM, 5.7, 22 wheels and 392 rear end. ALso have the front air dam/blocked off grill.
At speed I get close to twice the mileage as 19RamInSC, while I ride on the bed of a role back.
That was going south on I-95, a little less coming back north. UP HILL?? RAMaway

OK, your trip was 38 miles and 48 miles. Wow, that is a long trip to show
your numbers. That is easy to get when trying, but worthless in the real world.
Lets see a minimum of 1,000 miles, better yet 5,000 MPG
numbers.
You just reset your trip meter, show us a photo of before that..........
I know that will not be forthcoming.

You have to love it when a plan falls together.
But one more time. My posting was not meant to represent real world numbers. Just a comparison of 2,000 miles vs 20,000 miles. 70 mph on cruise.
But since you asked so nicely. Here you go.
What will you make of it now? Eagerly awaiting your reply.

I took a reading from my trip to pick up my car from the painter and dropping it off at the mechanic,with trailer unloaded,too busy when it was loaded.

If can keep her ~55 to 60 mph I can get ~23 MPG. This is from a single trip, Maryland to NJ mostly highway with steady traffic and some local roads thrown in getting to and off the highway. This was with my stock Goodyear 258/45R22s. My problem is I rarely ever keep her below 55 mph.

I don’t know if it helped the mpg at all since I put on the blower after break in,5k But its hard on tires.

That is SWEET! What a neat install. Looks OEM. Fun factor over MPG any day! Have any videos? 1/4 E.T.?
I am jealous. hehe

I’m waiting for the shop to install the stainless works headers and true dual setup,the tune will include a trans tune and alky systems injection and hopefully control the torque induced 6-2 that screwed with the last tune.

We just took a little trip to Myrtle Beach, SC from Charlotte, NC. Losing altitude all the way with approx. 700 miles on the odo she did 20.2 for the little over 200 miles. Heading home it will drop due too the altitude change to around 18 or so (If there's no headwind. If there is a headwind all bets are off). That's very close to my previous '13 F-150 CC with the 5.0L. I'm happy, happy, happy. I'm basically driving a brick with 4 tires, so I didn't expect much to start with. But, this Ram is so dang comfortable I really don't care what the mpgs are. Imma lovin' it anyway.
