You are in the Dodge Ram Forum. Your Host is kcram
This is the place to discuss (or even brag about) the mileage performance of your Ram pickup!

Lifts, and oversized tires are bigggggg killers of MPG. stock tires, no lift, and a light foot is the only way. Going with higher octane has been proven to NOT improve mileage. Also, when you get a chip, it advances the timing and you will HAVE to use higher octane fuel. going with higher octane is only needed to cure engine knock, due to advanced timing or other issues. good luck.

98 dodge ram 1500 4x4 Quad Cab 265/75/16 5.9L. I was getting 10.5 before all the work listed below. New Catalytic Converter New O2 Sensors (both). Also, had done, but not really attributing to any change in MPG was... transmission rebuild, new front bearings and new u-joints. This truck is the biggest POS I have ever owned, no, wait, the DODGE RAMPAGE I used to own is tied for the worst. This truck breaks constantly. I only commute 25miles round trip daily and I don't tow or go off road, and I never beat on it. Granted all things break over a period of time, but its all at once. 2nd Gen RAMS are horrible if they have over 80K on them, then you have to go through and do all the work to keep them going. I have put $6000 in less than 1 yr of repairs in to it. but I get about the same MPG now as a Hemi would.
