Yeah, because that would have been so much easier. Why didn't they think about that.With threads like this so prevalent in so many different forums, I continue to be shocked at Ram's decision to add 145 horsepower instead of keeping Hemi power levels the same but giving us 30% better fuel economy. ?!?
I guess that "giving the people what they want" just isn't in fashion these days? Says the cynical old man...Yeah, because that would have been so much easier. Why didn't they think about that.
Most people buying trucks aren't worried as much about fuel economy. If that was a major factor, they certainly wouldn't buy a truck. Give the people what they want, performance and ability. A truck that can tow, haul, and perform.I guess that "giving the people what they want" just isn't in fashion these days? Says the cynical old man...
Hopefully they know what the are doing. Maybe they will sell more trucks and the S/O engine will be better economically. Only time will tell...

I've noticed with my Pulsar, I get slightly better fuel economy, when cruising on the freeway, with it set to Performance. I don't think I've used stock since I got it, other than to do some comparison tests at the drag strip. Before the 35" tires, with it set to Economy I gained about 1.5mog in around town drivingIm getting close to 20mpg with my current set up. 80% of the time my tuner is on stock tune with my 3.21 rear and 35x12.50 R20 tires
