Gas mileage v8 without Etorque..... 4wd

[kittyjo]

What’s the average mpg you guys are getting I am pleased with mine...

 

[DharmaDog]

Not good. 14.2 MPG. Not remote starting. 50/50 hiway/city. Lots of coasting. Driving 5 MPH over limit at most. No heavy foot. Gentle acceleration. Trying to see the ECO light as much as possible. Pretty disappointed here.

 

[kittyjo]

City, highway and 4wd off road and some heavy foot time for passing slow pokes...

Important to note the mileage. MPG should improve as motor and drivetrain bed in.

Mixed local and highway, and at 1,250 miles, break-in still a ways off.

22 Highway and 17.5-18 in the city. Very pleased this far. I’m at 5,000 miles. It wasn’t always this good. Maybe the engine needed some time not sure. Early on I was getting around 15.

See Dharm and Horn. It makes no sense so I just don't buy what people tell me they are doing.

Well I have photo proof lol and that’s okay if u don’t believe me or them just saying what I’m getting

I agree it doesn’t make sense. But that doesn’t make it any less real. I wish your decision to not buy it would improve my mileage.

I have 2300 miles now and I am at 15.3 lifetime average. No I did not hand calculate, so the "real" number is lower. I must note that I live at basically 4500 feet so there is that issue, and the speed limits in Idaho are some of the highest. Our Interstate is 80 and the highway is 70, so that is about 85% of my daily 20 mile commute.

To compare, I have a 2016 1 ton Duramax long bed that is tuned and deleted (since 200 miles) that was my daily driver in winter and towed my 44 foot 5th wheel about 10 times a summer. My hand calculated lifetime average with 32,000 miles is 15.6.

I have not hooked up anything to my Ram yet, so that number will lower as camping season is here and I have a 28 foot bumper pull that the Ram will be towing. At this point in my trucks life, I only see the ECO light when I am coasting or below 40mph. I can make it come on at 39, but if I set the cruise to 40 it will shut off. I guess sitting at 4500 feet robs just enough power from the motor for it to not be able to use the ECO mode much. I really try not to look at the gas mileage as I enjoy the truck a lot and I figure that is all that matters.

Agreed if u have a truck and worried about mpg you shouldn’t get one haha I use to have a 14 Camry 30plus mpg

 

[cotonymopar]

around town, city/highway 16.6, when I drove to Denver freeway and in the city, 18 mpg

 

[FredFlintstone]

I'm averaging 15-16

 

[knightro84]

At last fuel up I had 3,510 miles on the truck. Hand calculated 16.67 MPG since new. Best tank was 17.13 and worst tank was 16.22. My commute is 37 miles round trip, 27 of those miles are interstate.

 

[67 RT]

12.6 for me at 7000 miles.

The latter but it’s not that heavy. I’ve always driven like this. No idea why it’s so bad other than my “heavy foot”.

 

[SColang22]

I'm averaging 16 but i also have 35's

What’s the average mpg you guys are getting I am pleased with mine...

1400 miles on it, 321 gears and several trips to the cabin at 133 miles one way. I have had 18.4 and 18.6 most of it is interstate. I did get 16.7 one trip in the rain. The temp has been between 45 and 55.

VVVVV

Well on my fourth tank I just averaged 12.9...Now this is hand calculated with 34" tires vs stock 32"' and an uncorrected speedometer, 3.92 gears and an admittedly heavy right foot...All in all, about where I expected to be and will probably settle in at mid 14's to 15MPG. Dealer says he can correct speedo for tires so when I get some time I will get that done and recheck actual MGP.

Once I have about 3000 miles on her I plan to do a baseline dyno and install the Borla Touring (with resonator-I love the quite cab) and the AFE Momentum sealed CAI. I will see what if anything this does for mileage and what my 'Butt Dyno' tells me. I will do one additional dyno-I may wait on the second dyno however as Superchips has informed me in the near future they will offer a real tune for for factory ECM's and not just the Pulsar...
