no bs fuel mileage ... ALL Generations

[Matt]

so lets get a list of hand calculated no bs mileage for your truck with given mods ...

2006 1/2 ton 4x4
5.7 stock
flowmaster dumped exhaust
3.92 gears
7" suspension lift
37x13.50x20 Toyo Mts

9.8-10.5 mpg 85% town driving i noticed a huge drop with the 37's vs the 35's there is a big weight difference between them

[ramthis9501]

2001 half ton 2wd
5.2 V8
Duals
3.55 gears
17" wheels
Alot of city driving
Around 13-15 mpg

[(S.M.R) 101]

2008 1500 HEMI 4x4 (MDS)

Magnaflow muffler
Superchips programmer (MDS On)
K&N drop in filter
Valvoline full synthetic

70-80% of the day I'm in 4 wheel drive, days I'm on the main roads at cruising speed anywhere from 17 to 18.5 depending which way the wind is blowing, as well as terrain. Some times a little higher.

wow i could barely get that on a completely stock truck in 2wd @70 on a road trip is this hand calculated or what the overhead says?

2010 1500 HEMI (MDS)

Magnaflow muffler
Superchips programmer (MDS On)
Cooper Zeon 275/60/20 Tires
2/4 Drop
Bed Cover
Mobil1 full synthetic

These are the mods that somewhat contribute to my mileage. Around town I get around 13-15 and highway 18-20, if I can behave and keep it under 75. Before the 4" drop (Had 2" front lift) highway mileage was more like 17-18. I'm sure with some shorter street tires I could easily do 21-22 highway.

2005 1500 HEMI 2WD

flowmaster muffler
k&n CAI
stock 3.92's
2/4.5 drop
stock 20's - 275/65/20 firestone destination le (tires)


i get somewhere around 11.5 to 13.5 most all in town driving. depending on how i drive also :)

havent checked it lately though

[(S.M.R) 101]

OBC blows at mpg I do it myself. I think you misunderstood me. While I'm working my truck is always in 4 wheel drive so I never bother to check the mpg while in fwd. At crusing speed 60 to 65 in 2wd I can pull them numbers.

Averaged today.. Not good.
Bout half tank. Hand calculated to 13.04.
Haven't been driving that hard either..
04 RCSB
Hemi
K&N 77 Series CAI w/Amsoil dry filter

2004 Ram 1500 4.7L 2wd

Mobile 1 Full Synthetic Extended Performance Oil
Pulstar Iridium Plugs
K&N Super77 CAI
Airaid TBS
Superchips Cortex 91 Octane Performance Tune and 91 Octane Gas
Custom Exhaust w/ Single-in Dual-out Flowmaster 40 Series and Hi-flow Cats.
2" drop Shackles
Stock 20's on Nitto 420S 305/50/20r

Mostly Highway w/ Light city driving on the weekends avg 13.3mpg

[Okiespaniels]

2000 Ram 1500 QC 1500
5.9 V-8
Champion plugs Taylor wires
Catback exhaust, 14x3 Filter MSD coil
Lifted, 33 inch tires, 3:55 gears
Regular gas

Gets 10-11mpg city and around 13mpg highway if run at 70mph steady. Doesn't do any better with premium, high dollar unobtanium plugs or a CAI.
It really needs a tuner and some lower gears to wake it up. MPGs are irrelevant...when I need MPGs I either drive to gf's Ranger or rent an econo box.

changed the egr valve and i'm getting about 11.5 now and when you take in affect my tire size is off throwing off the mileage gives me just a hair under 13 average ... which is pretty good imo considering .. i don't get much better on the hw though

Filled up today. 14.96.
Was actually happy about that. Need higher standards. :)

[916Timmy]

Mods in the signature line.....on 91 tune I get about 17.5-18.0 MPG mostly highway and some babying in the city. But I can quickly drop it to 14 by REALLY getting on the highway!

I am running 3.21 gears still, which really helps on the highway. I cruise 65 mph at 1500 rpm in mds all day!

[Matt]

my rpm is super low on the highway too but i kick out of mds/over-drive fairly easy with any grade or whatever with my 37's lol

[fastnnuffrt]

I have 4.10s in my rt

[Matt]

We also have taller tires and more rpms I need 4.56s in mine something terrible

[myoung84]

And much lower geared overdrive transmissions. My 6 speed auto in the Wagon has a 0.625 6th gear. Even with 4.56 gears and 34" tires, I'm running a hair under 2000 rpm at 70mph.

And MPG sucks, I get about 9-10 in town (with my heavy foot), anywhere from 12-15 highway depending on wind speed and direction, and 9-10 towing my boat, which is about 4k lbs after everything else is loaded up.

[fastnnuffrt]

My tires are 32.2 in tall and I run around 2200 at 75

[okcoalroler99]

Im guna swap for some 3:55s cuz i can only turn 3200 rpm and make enormus amounts of torque between 1800 & 2200 rpm 4:10s r useless in a cummins......i can bearly squese 100 mph out of her but she will get from 0-100 dam quick if i stand on it i can be doin 95 at the top of a on ramp easy and still get 18 mpg
