I’m posting this because I’m getting pretty horrible MPG for both city and highway. Up to about 2K miles my city was 9 mpg and highway was 13 mpg. Now at 2,300 miles my city driving is currently 10 mpg and my highway is around 14 mpg.

Setup:
2020 Ram 1500 Limited
No lift yet
5.7L 3.92
Hostile Alpha 22x10 -25 Offset
Nitto Ridge Grappler LT285/50R22
Mopar Performance Cat-back
Mopar Performance CAI
Pedal Commander PC78

My stock 2010 Laramie got around 13 city and 17 highway.

Mine is a B.D.S 4” lift paired with 35x12.50r20 tires and I’m averaging 9 mpg....

I usually get about 14.5-15.5 city and I just got 17.5 almost 18 for highway for a 715 mile trip. I did go through mountains so that drastically decreased my mpg.

I have a 2019 Bighorn 5.7, 2 inch level with 305/55/20 ridge grapplers. I also took off the Air dam and front lower valence. I also have a S&B cold air intake.

After 9k miles I am at 14 city, 17.5 highway at 75mph. Slow that down to 60-65, and I regularly see 18+ on the highway.

I rarely drive highway... back country roads that a hilly. Averaging on the dash at 16 per gallon.

I have a 2020 Big Horn, 3.21 in the rear, 5.7 hemi (no eTorque). Crew cab, short bed.

What's your load rating on the door jamb sticker? Limited editions can weigh quite a bit, not uncommon to have 700-800 lbs of options over other trims. Also, what is your tire pressure at?

I’ve added quite a bit of weight to mine between all my extra stuff.

Bone stock on mine (OEM tires and no lift). 3.21.
Purchased new in June 2018, and I have ~14,800 miles.

City - 8.0-10.0 MPG (which is normal for me. I have a stupid short commute). If I happen to drive freeways for a couple of days, it goes up a tad, but not much.
FWY - ~19.0-19.8 @ 70 MPH.

2020 Limited. Stock except for a lot of minor cosmetic things and tires/rims. The things below affect my MPG.

3.92, LSD, pretty much every option except MFT.
UPR catch can (very slight + because no oil in cylinders)
18" Rebel rims w/ 275-65-18 Falken Wildpeak A/T tires (moderate - because these tires are a bit heavier than factory, and are A/T tread, despite being same size as factory)
Pedal Commander (moderate - because now I go zoom-zoom up to speed rather than just one regular zoom)

I'm currently getting high 13s in city. 20 minute commute to work, when I go into the office (currently doing 95% WFH due to COVID).
Before the Pedal Commander and rim/tire change, I was getting mid-high 14s. Less than 500 miles on her so far, no long highway trips yet to give a good highway MPG.

19 Laramie ORP 18k on clock. 2”level, carbon delete w/ drop in, B2fab muffler swap, 180 stat. Running 93 fuel. Everything else stock. Mostly all mix driving with little fun I’m at 17-18 mpg with canceling mds every drive.

Was more 18-19 at times higher when continuously using mds. Contribute that to the back roads and 40-55 pretty constant with little traffic. Seems to be the sweet spot for our trucks.

2019 RAM 1500 4 X 4 CC, Bighorn. Mostly stock. 5.7 Hemi, No E-torque, just got an AEM dry air filter in box. Also have Full Mopar Fiberglass Bed Cover.

Got 275-65-18 Falken Wildpeak A/T tires on stock rims, no lift.

I get 13-18 in town, and 17-22 on Hwy,. I run 89 gas. FWIW, I got 14-18 in town and 21-23 MPG on Hwy with stock tires. I am happy to lose 1-1.5 mpg on good tires instead of those inflated OEM Balloons.
