New '14 Ram owner

[GP4L]

Hey all, I've had my Ram for a week now, and I'm extremely satisfied with it! Coming from owning sports cars, and cheap winter vehicles, to now only owning a 2014 Ram 1500 Hemi CC Sport - I wont lie, I was a little worried about how much enjoyment I'd get driving a bigger vehicle every day, but this truck has been awesome!

Best part, my daily commuting to-from work (about 20 miles round trip) I averaged 18.5mpg with my first tank of gas (with additional suburb type driving / even mix of highway and stop/go traffic, and a handful of WOT pulls at various speeds) - my 08 Infiniti G37S 6mt in these conditions would get 19-19.5 driving it easy, but on 93 octane, not 89. So I'm really happy that my rig isn't going to kill my wallet at the pump. Adding in that the truck looks great, is quick enough for me to enjoy, and has WAY more capability towing/hauling than anything else I've ever owned, I'm a happy camper.

I'm pretty sure it has every option available, minus the 32 gallon tank... 4x4, Air suspension, Rambox, 3.92 with LSD, heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, parksense, ect...

Ordered HID's from JJ yesterday, and I have a few more mods on the list to come in the near future.

Here's a couple pics..!

welcome. I had a 2011 G37S 6MT before my 2014 hemi ram CC sport. My gas cost was also about a wash when factoring in using 87 instead of 93.

Haha, nice. By me, gas is a 50-60 cent/gallon price difference between 87 and 93. If 10 gallons gets me 185 miles in the Ram, and 195 in my old G. At $3/gal, thats $30 for the Ram to drive 185 miles vs. $35-36 to go 195 miles. 6.1 miles per dollar for my Ram vs. 5.57 miles per dollar with the G (@ $0.50 difference). I've been using 89, but that's still 30 cents/gal cheaper than 93. so it ends up being a tiny bit cheaper with all other things being equal.

Pretty cool how relatively efficient these things have become.
