#280 of 284 Re: 2009 Ram SLT 4x4 1500 with a HEMI [mek0123] by alansteven Jun 27, 2009 (11:15 pm)
Replying to: mek0123 (Apr 29, 2009 10:09 pm) hi.. i own a Ram 1500 4.7 Quad cab ,black,( 2002) I live in Kent U.K...it`s impressive results from the new Ram...although the difference in engine size ,I get a regular economy figure of 18-20mpg,with 3-5 passengers. I think U.K.gallons are measured slightly larger than U.S. gallons but as the Ram is a direct import I think it still is configured to U.S. gallons making it even more impressive. I also have a fibre cover that also adds to economy.What with build quality and being very reliable,with easy importable spares, I can order spares on the phone and they normally arrive in two working days,and forums like this ,owning an American car in the U.K. is a better deal than a "British car" (do we still have any?).I owned a import Ford Explorer for 10 yrs before,and it did not let me down once in 175000.00.miles..
#281 of 284 2009 RAM Quad 4x4 Gas Mileage by morganv Sep 26, 2009 (10:40 am)
wE finally traded in our 2003 RAM in january for a 2009 same thing except this ones a 4x4 laramie. we just turned 14,000 after 9 months and already we can see this trucks doing better than the 03. around town i'm averaging 16-17 with some weeks getting in the high 17s. weve taken it on several road trips and averaged 22.4 on the last trip of 635 miles. thats driving between 65-75 mph by the way. on one trip pulling a single horse trailer i got 19.2 on country roads. the 2003 best was just over 20 on the highway. this 2009 is one sweet truck. it rides better than any of our ford or lincoln cars and handles better too. if we didn't need a one ton truck on the farm wed buy another 1500!!!

Replying to: morganv (Sep 26, 2009 10:40 am) I run a 1500spt..2002..4.7..as a rule I normally get around 14mpg around town and about 18-20mpg on a run.that does sound very impressive ..with gas in the U.K. at approx $10.00 a gallon it would be a good idea to upgrade..luckily my annual mileage is only 9,000mls..the reliability and build quality of U.S. motors make buying them a good option over rice burners(am I allowed to say that.?)....
#283 of 284 01 quad laramie slt 5.9 by wisconsindavid Nov 21, 2009 (4:20 pm)
We just recently bought this rwd ram 1500 for 6k, with 85,000 on the odometer. It runs great, gets about 15mpg avg and seems very sound. The purchase price will allow a lot of room for repair and gasoline, in comparison to purchase of a new ram truck. This is my first dodge pickup and so far love the performance, style and power. Anyone have best advice for an inexpensive add-on to help mpg (if one exists). This came with a drop in K&N filter. Thanks Replies to this message: stanoski (Nov 21, 2009 6:28 pm)

Replying to: wisconsindavid (Nov 21, 2009 4:20 pm) Inexpensive add-ons?? There aren't any there Hoss. Cold air intake, pipes, control unit, etc. will increase both HP and MPG but none are cheap. Best thing you can do put good gas in it and drive it lightly, thats your best bang for you buck.   Ski in TX
