The fuelly average is currently skewed high due to two partial fuelups after long ~100% highway road trips that aren't calculated correctly. My lifetime average is something like 17.2 mpg with a non-roadtrip mix of about 65-70% city, 30-35% highway in a hilly area.

You can see more detailed thoughts from me here:

• https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/v6-driving-impressions.3520/

In summary, I think the V6 is a bit underpowered for a loaded Longhorn, though if you're in a flat area it'll probably be sufficient.

I have about 3800 miles on my Limited V6 with 3.21 axle. The fuel consumption average since new shows 23 mpg. I have never reset this. Is it even resettable? Is that what it is showing (average mpg since new)? I have made 2 trips to Reno from Sacramento area to go skiing recently. So about 80% mountain freeway and 20% city driving and got 21.5 and 22 mpg (the first was hand calculated but gauge showed 21.8 mpg on trip A). My previous Jeep Renegade AWD would get 26 mpg on same trip and my previous 2017 Honda Ridgeline would get 23-24 mpg. So I guess for such a big truck nothing to complain about. I do drive slower 67-69 mph vs 72 with the Renegade and the Ridgeline. I am waiting to find out how it does just city driving. My Renegade was poor (16 -17 mpg) at this. Ridgeline was similar.
