ram sport mpg sucks!

[Hemipower95]

Average mpg was 11.7 now it's 12.5

I'm averaging 10.2 mpg with my 6.4. Im not expecting good mileage. If I did, I'd get a prius. My dad averages 13-14 city in his 2013 1500 5.7 cc

How many miles? Give it some time, let it break in. It'll get better

"Sport" +"City" will never equal good mileage.

i get like 16 mpg when I baby it on 35s but for the most part, I have stopped caring about mpg

Sports can still have 3.21s. Or they can ordered with 3.92s

What gears does the sport have?
IlL take my 3.21 gears 17-18 in the city and 22 on the highway

Winter fuel doesn't help either.

I get 12 mpg city 1500 2013 QC, 5.7 4x4.

Just drive slower if you're so want to save on gas, otherwise just enjoy it

I have owned a new ram sport '15' quad cab for about a little over a month (dec. 23) and im averaging 11.5 in city. What are you getting?

I use fuelly. Check out my signature.
(2013 V8 CC 4X4 3.21 8 speed SB)

I always subtract 3 mpg from what the window sticker said on the lot and I usually get that.

My driving is mostly stop and go short trips (80% city) with an average speed of 18-22 miles per hour.

I have done a few longer trips on the highway and the mpg did go up a bunch... 17-20 mpg.

I got about 12 mpg the last few tanks with 93hf.

14.4

My 11 Bighorn QC gets about 13 on city roads according to the dashboard MPG. With that said, I didn't buy a high 300HP/TQ monstrosity of a vehicle to get good gas mileage.

I've had my 2015 Sport for a week and I am getting high 13's. It started out in the 15's, but most of my driving to work is sitting in traffic and moving at idle speed...

 

[MJG]

15.5 in the 300 miles I've had it.

 

[Drummin4jc]

I'm getting around 12-12.5 city and can get upwards of 17-18 highway with my 2012 QC 5.7 HEMI 4x4. I do have spacers in the front for leveling as well. Like others have said, I bought the truck without the mindset of MPG. Plus, the lower fuel prices are nice right now too..

Anddd the gas mileage threads are giving the Blistein threads a run for their money... who will end up with more?!?!

 

[kg93]

hey ill make you feel a little better! The other day i got 12 HIGHWAY and im getting about 8 city! good thing i got 23 gallons of premium for $21 at shell!

When I first got my Sport I was getting 18.9 for the first month. Now that I am not taking it easy on her I get 16.2
But I really do not do a lot of city driving. All freeway back and forth to work.

If you're referring to the lower gears, they actually help in the city. Highway is where they will hurt you a little over 70mph.
My guess is the winter fuel is negatively affecting mileage as it does for most. How much idle time are you seeing? Warming the truck up and sitting in traffic doesn't help.

 

[butterscotch71]

15 4x4 sport CC with 3.92...was getting about 18 until winter gas and cold temps. Now I'm at 16.2. Mostly rural country roads with plenty of stops. On the highway I was getting almost 22.
