Hate to tell you but it sounds like the OP didn't do enough research on this.
The MPG on all trucks are inflated.

It's not inflated on all trucks.
Ram does shady stuff like that I guess but not everyone.
My 18 Silverado got better MPG (and didn't have 3.21 gears, it had 3.42s)
My sticker says 16 city 22 highway combined 18.
I got 16-18 in the city, and majority of the highway I would get 24-26, and this was on the 5.3L with all 8 cylinders running.
There was a 75 mile stretch of flat highway I was able to get 30mpg
My ram shows 18 city and 22 highway combined 19.
I have never gotten 18 in the city or 22 in the highway. I get around 14-15 city and 16-17 highway.
My Ram gets 17mpg on that same stretch of highway my Silverado got 30mpg despite the numbers being almost the exact same.
God forbid Ram is honest about the mpg. No need to lie we know these engines are gas hungry but don't put fake numbers on it. Also trucks are not part of the gas guzzler tax so even more reason not to lie about it.
