Hey everyone, I need some serious suggestions on improving the MPG on my 2020 Rebel with e 5.7 E- Torque. Also, suggestions for air bags for the rear end as I pull toe behind camper.
 
Airlift 1000HD are the air bags that I installed on my Rebel, my fuel economy is amazing, but it’s the Ecodiesel, my suggest is to keep your speed down on the highway, coast down before arriving at stops or traffic lights, and don’t floor the gas pedal after every stop or traffic lights.
My brother used to say “ I pinched the gas line with vise grips to get better mpg”

Keep your foot out of it! Which I know is very hard are these trucks are fun to drive and it’s like I have a hemi and it’s fun to feel the power and hear it roar! I was getting 16+ in town and 17-21 highway with my 19 Laramie, 5.7 3.92 etorque, stock highway tires. I now have a 21 Laramie, 5.7, 3:21, etorque, stock highway tires. 16+ in town and up to 22-23 highway! I use the 87 gas! Once you hit 60+ with them bug tires and that 3:92 rear end, the Rpm’s are at 2000+ , where my 3:21 will be at 1500+! Good luck👍🏻

It's not quite that bad with 3.92's. I have 33's with 3.92 gears and I am at 2000 RPM's at 77 MPH.
 
Accelerate relatively quickly and release the gas pedal slightly. the gearbox will switch to a higher gear and in this mode the consumption will be reduced. use this driving style
 
There is nothing you can do to increase your MPG enough to matter other than get rid of the truck and buy something that is more fuel efficient.

Even if you are magically able to increase your MPG from 16 - 20 MPG, you would only be saving about $14 per week if you drive an average of 15000 miles per year.
 
Buy a bicycle! :D

But like everyone said, there isn't much you can do apart of controlling that right foot.
 
In my 2016 rebel i put a cold air intake and changed the 26inch muffler for an 18in and got about 1.5 mpg more. Was a good side effect I experienced doing those mods

How do these super old threads keep coming back?

Perhaps due to a few trolls always attacking people for not using the search function to locate past posts on a subject they wish to discuss or questions they have. They may get tired of seeing the same subjects in over and over in new threads, but they don't realize that's exactly what keeps a forum alive.
