#21 of 284 2005 3500 DRW Quad 4x4, Cummins/48RE by kcram HOST Mar 30, 2005 (7:15 pm)
I'm at 1200 miles now, and I'm seeing numbers around 18-20 for highway cruising in the 57-67 mph range. Once we get off winter-mix diesel, I expect another 5-10% increase.   kcram - Pickups Host Replies to this message: rangersgoalie (Apr 08, 2005 3:51 pm)

#23 of 284 '05 2500 QC w/ CTD Auto by wheels1 Apr 08, 2005 (6:53 pm)
With 3700 miles on it, I've been getting about 14-15 around town and about 18 on the highway. Best tank so far was from Cheyenne, Wy to Steamboat Springs, Co and back. Over the Summit on I-80 and over Rabbit Ears pass, got 18.5 MPG. The power going up the hills was awesome, the only slowing me down was the turns.

Replying to: rangersgoalie (Jan 02, 2005 4:23 pm) I'm getting around 10-12 MPG on my 1998 2500 V10 GAS   Does anyone have any successful remedies, gizzmos, etc that work to increase the MPG.   Thanks for your replies. Replies to this message: drtrvlr (Jun 21, 2005 12:12 pm)
#25 of 284 Hemi Gas Mileage by ky bob Apr 29, 2005 (12:02 am)
Ok I've always been a Chevy man but sure like the looks of the Dodge trucks over the newer Chevy's.Also had more trouble out of my last Chevy (2002) than any other but mainly just small things. Looking at a 1500 Hemi Quad Cab w/ 20" tires. What kind of gas mileage can I really expect? Probably 60% highway and 40% town. Also what rear end should I be looking at? And I have heard that the 20" tires hurt the power and mileage. Is that true? Need input quick has I may try and trade within a week or two.

#26 of 284 Mileage Report by mrbill May 10, 2005 (4:20 am)
Just got another MPG update on my 2004 QC Hemi Laramie. 75/25 percent HWY(commute)/CITY . Overhead reported 18.8 average. Actual calculations at the pump 18.2. Overhead meeds a tweak I suppose. I cant complain, it constantly reports 19 (+) during commute. Not bad for a Hemi IMHO.. ahasher FYI - K&N, Soft tonneau, 17 inch rims, 3.55 LSD.
#27 of 284 other V6 averages by kennethm1 May 11, 2005 (9:55 am)
is there anyone out there that has a 2005 ram 1500 V6 that could report on the fuel consumption in the city and on the highway. i would like feedback from people that drive where things are pretty flat. i live in south florida. it is a regular cab short bed (construction crew model i refer to it as) and my experience in the past is they don't quite get what the big mpg numbers on the sticker price states it should average. sticker say 16 city 21 hwy. a friend of mine has a ford 8 cly and averaged 17 going to atlanta. i hope that with my 6 banger will at least get the 19 mark on the hwy and 15 in the city. i haven't taken it on a road trip to see what it gets but so far i am only getting 13 city i am assuming when people figure their fuel economy they to calculate it having run the air conditioner like i did in the city and will do when i calculate my mpg when i take the highway road trip. i assume most people do but just want to make sure we are comparing apples to apples. anxiously awaiting your replies.

Replying to: kennethm1 (May 11, 2005 9:55 am) I know a gentleman here in town that has a 2003 RAM short box, V6 automatic. He gets 17-18 around town and has reported 23 on the highway. He's in his seventies and drives very cautiously. It's not what I would call Kansas flat around here, either.   Regards, Dusty Replies to this message: kennethm1 (May 18, 2005 11:40 am) jtr (Jun 09, 2005 12:49 pm)

Replying to: dustyk (May 17, 2005 6:41 pm) thanks for your reply. i have not had the chance to recalculate. after a week or ten days of driving easy i went to gas it up and swiped my card at the pump. well for some reason they only allowed 50 bucks to go on the credit card thus i couldn't fill the tank to get an accurate calclation. i was pissed lololo. that particular week i was a little more on the hwy than usual. i went ahead and calculated (even though i was a gallon or two from actually filling it) and i averaged 15.5. i would like to do a four or five hundred mile run all on interstate hwy and get a calculation. i just hope that the friggin pump won't cut me off before i am able to fill it. thanks for the reply kenny Replies to this message: jtr (Jun 09, 2005 12:49 pm)
