And what did you get going by the hand calculations?


Sorry, I have done enough hand calculations in many different vehicles to never beleive what that lie-o-meter says especially in Rams. I have had many friends tell me they get 20 mpg in their older diesel compared to the 16-17mpg I average in my newer diesel only to find out they were quoting their trucks lie-o-meter compared to my hand calculations. When they did do the hand calculations then they found out they were actually getting 14 mpg which is a far cry from 20mpg. Hell, even my Ram's lie-o-meter is always 2 mpg or more off and it is a new truck.

TFL did some MPG tests with Rams earlier this year and each time they found the EVIC was pretty close to the hand calculations. Actually each time the EVIC underestimated the MPG (the truck did better). They found this to be true in the 1500, 2500, and 3500. I think the 1500 and 2500 were unloaded and the 3500 was loaded.
