I recently purchased a used 2019 Ram Bighorn 1500 4x4 with the 5.7 Hemi. Gas mileage sucks. I previously had a 2014 and got around 16mpg in town and around 22mpg on the highway, not towing anything. I’m getting around 11.5-12mpg in town with the 2019. Is there anything I can do to help get better gas mileage?

Share some specs of your truck, and we might be able to give you a little better advice. In the meantime, at least make sure your tire pressure is correct. For reference, I average 14-16 around town. On a recent trip down to a Reds game and back I averaged 18, and that was driving 75-80 most of the way.

Poor gas mileage
Nah, it's the short legged 3.92 that doesn't have a chance, huffin and puffin at 70 while the 3.21 is cruising while drinking a slurpee asking, you ok bro? Better not be in a Big Gulp cup, 3.21 couldn't take the extra payload!
