New 2022 Ram 1500 with Underperforming MPG

[23RAM]

There are a lot of stupid people in this world, but most know that the computer continually measures fuel consumption.

I don't agree with the second part...people seem to think that the mpg rating is what the truck gets when driving - partly due to how mpg is often "described" by the manufacturer. The first part is completely wrong...there's no such thing as stupid people, only stupid questions.

The EPA does simulate stop and go traffic, as well as a few more parameters.

Yes I believe that's correct.

Who are these "people" and how do you know what they are thinking?

Just came across this post after looking as to if I should continue to use 87. Someone’s post about mileage since purchase had me curious. I got my ram used with 11k miles on it. It’s a 19 5.7 non etorque.

I’ve only drove it 7k miles with trip b, but I average 20.0. I tend to hyper mile and I do about a 60 mile commute through the hill country in Virginia M-F.

I put 89 in once to see if there was a difference and there def was. Truck seemed quieter and I was averaging 1mpg more than I normally do on a tank (21 vs 20). Price isn’t a concern to me, but I was in a groove and went back to 87 due to habit and because I normally fill up at 3am when I’m half asleep

I’m going back to 89 since it’s recommended.

*edit* Forgot to mention I have the 3.92 transmission

It’s a limited with air suspension. It lowers to aero (aerodynamic) when you get to a certain speed, or you can put it there. I ride there pretty much exclusively unless I’m towing my camper.

Btw, mpg when towing my 29 foot camper I make about 12 I think.

*edit* yeah I was wrong. I made 11mpg towing from VA to SC on average. Not 12
