Test over ~44k miles, same driving, same locations, same fuel stops, etc
2017 Ram 1500 5.7 4x4 with 3.93 gears: 15.4 MPG
2021 Ram 1500 5.7 with etorque and 3.93 gears: 16.3 MPG

Compared fuel cost ((44000 miles/MPG)*$3/gallon)
2017: $8571.43
2021: $8098.16
Difference: $473.27

So having etorque saved approx $473.27 over 44k miles.....

Wish i had documented data from my 2014 Laramie, but i know it got better numbers than this fancy 2024 Limited. Both 5.7 with 3.21 with tonneaus, Michelins vs Pirellis etc., but the '24 has etorque, aero mode suspension lowering, electric air dam etc etc, so its gotta be more economical right :)
The 2014 averaged 18 mpg for as long as i can remember, the 2024 at 2000 miles is averaging 15mpg.

One of the few I've read about where the 19+ got better mpg.. mine is getting **** mileage. Think I'm down in the 15's lifetime, 90% highway, and have 64k miles on the clock.
