I drive a 5.4 4 X 4 off road, with 3:55 gears. I average 16.5-17 mpg

I'm not complaining, and "if" I ever got 21 mpg, I'd have a heart attack !!!!

Wanna talk poor milleage...............?? Ask me what a DODGE 5.9 gets !!!!!!! ;-)

I have had 5 Dodges and none got better than 13mpg. I hit 18 mpg ONCE going 55 on a straight piece of Oregon Highway.

That is one of the top 10 reasons I won't own a Dodge Ram.

How fast do you drive on the highway? Be honest.

I just love to hear from all of you getting better mpg. then i do,,,,drive the speed limit,keep tuned up,this thing has so few parts to replace that it's almost new.BUT it's paid for and i only put on 2200 miles a year.Could be the price of gas changing so often that it is confused...............?
