I couldn't tell you what my Sportster gets either - LOL

I know appx by gas gauge and fill up. I don’t let under 1/4. Pushing a 2100 lb bike not fun. Has 6.6 G tank so of course I know when to hunt for fuel.

Had an 08 Ultra Classic with 96 motor. Traded down/up for 06 Wing Gl 1800 hp Motor Trike. For those not know the boxer 6 Honda motors are actually 1832 CC. Just wish I had the 6 speed than the 5 speed I have.

Caveat: MC in bike club was known as: The Golden Pig.

I really don't understand how my 22 Ram 1500 could possibly be getting worse city mpg than my worn out 99 ram high top conversion van with over 200,000 miles??? It makes no sense, Ram has better aerodynamics, newer engine technology, and 8,800 miles. I've always gotten at least the epa estimated highway mpg on anything I've drove besides this truck.

And all of the trans have a overdrive so mpg should go up.Even my Z06 has a manual with a overdrive that makes 6th unusable under 80

Getting back to the forum title:

You buy a truck with a Hemi V8 and push anywhere from 5600 to over 6000 lbs down the highway worrying about wat the Moroney sticker says U should get ref mpg posted is like panning for fools gold just saying.

The bottom line is: U wanna go vroom U gonna pay unless you prefer bicycling or LPCs lol.

Yep, another recent thread here has someone with a lifted truck plus spacers wondering why the mpg sucks when towing a trailer. As long as engine is running fine and no codes, just don't worry about it. Numbers will vary for everyone, but going to not be pretty.

As long as:

Starts up every time. Goes vroom. Heat works. AC works. Radio plays some tunes and truck keeps U dry, UR ahead of the game.

Really great having a pre covid truck vs one built during or after IMHO.
