What did you do to your Ram today???

Just scrolled the last two pages and didn't get any inspiration for my next purchase. I'm disappointed in this thread.

Yes, it is about what we've done to our Rams.
But one thing we all do every day is drive them, and every week or so, fill them up.
We are driving some of the least fuel efficient vehicles available to citizens (non-commercial), eco-diesels excluded.

So, the way we feel about our trucks is affected by the way we feel about fuel prices. My friend who owns a Tesla doesn't even think about gas prices. He pays pennies to charge his vehicle, at the overnight rate.

We have to first settle ourselves that we are vulnerable to high fuel prices. We CHOSE these trucks. For me, the most important thing is to understand what factors lead to higher prices.

The Keystone pipeline closure is NOT a reason. I already said, the oil we refine for gasoline is not the oil we can produce in the U.S. And even if it was, that oil would still be priced in the global market. The oil companies would still have to staff up, which is a labor competition against other jobs for every worker. There were housing shortages where the fields were. The conditions are filthy and the work is hard. And yes, oil shale is one of the nastiest sources, requiring an incredible amount of water and leaving behind massive amounts of waste products. Every consumer should think about that at least a little bit. It's just terribly short sighted to only care about your weekly budget.

I used a bunch of gas!
Every time I punch it (which I do a lot - hey, it's a fun truck), my wife says, "Well, there went three dollars".

Ever since I got the Pulsar, I've put in performance one time. It stays on economy now. I'm not made of money.

Mine doesn’t even have an economy mode. Or stop/start. Or 2-wheel drive. Just 4-auto gas-guzzler mode.

Economy mode was my justification to my wife for the pulsar.

I'm same, I keep it all 8 cylinders all the time. I always turn off MDS. She sucks down the fuel, especially with lift and 35's

LOL! Economy mode on a TRX!! Now that's funny I don't care who you are!! I guess you decided to keep the TRX or hasn't the second Rebel come in yet?

 

[User_63152]

All I know is that I love my RAM. Gas is expensive, yes. But, like what was stated before, we choose these, no where near fuel efficient, trucks.

I apologize for stirring anything up.

Kept the TRX. Couldn’t imagine starting up a Rebel every day and saying, “I wish I had kept the TRX.”

I start up my Laramie everyday and say "I wish I could get a TRX."

Same here, but then went and put bigger wheels and tires, and she goes, “so how does that help your fuel economy…?”
Simple. Leave the truck in the garage…drive the 4cyl…lol.

Just realized you have a TRX.....that thing is drinking for sure. Are they standard equipped with 33 gal tank?

So I didn't understand the reason for this, but it looks pretty sick.
