Great news on my MPG

[RAM309702]

The first 4K miles I got crap mileage, between 13 and 15. I am almost at 5000 miles and now I’m at 17.7 — mostly highway. Not sure if because it’s warmer or what but man I love this truck even more!!

BTW it keeps going up, I’ll post back in a few weeks and see how high it gets.

Your not using winter blend fuel any longer. I just took a 440 mile trip down 81 to get my daughter at school. I was using the adaptive cruise and set it a 80mph and got 19.3 that's as good as my eco-diesel at those speeds

I am seeing high 19's on mine constantly, hand calculated. I have been using using 89 octane every 3 refills.
No noticeable difference with octane ratings.
For example:
5/1 - 19.8 mpg
4/27 - 19.8 mpg
4/23 - 19.1 mpg
4/15 - 19.9 mpg

Did anything change at all? Any TSB's done while getting an oil change or anything? Have you had your oil changed yet? What about gas, have you changed octanes or brands?

My truck gets great mileage( i think). I have a few videos on my youtube channel in my bio one for hwy, interstate, city, and towing. I have been impressed with how good this truck does on mpg, especially since I read so much negative about mileage on some forum members trucks.

I just took 350 mile trip to pick up my son from college. On the way there I got 20.5 MPG going 68 - 70 MPH. All the idling and city traffic took it down to 18.1 by the time we left the college. Coming home, I ran from 70 to 77 mph (average 75) and the total for my trip was 19.3. Not bad for a 3.92 4x4 Hemi.

That’s a competition your truck is built to win. Tradesman, 2WD, Quad Cab, eTorque, 3.21s...you’ve got to have a high payload sticker on that rig! You’ll be in the 20s this summer.

My mileage went up about a mile per gallon with higher tire pressure (42#) vs. (35#) ...of course ride was more choppy
