Any 13' Ram DEF MPG yet?
Just stopped by dealer and checked out a new'13 Ram 2500 4x4 Laramie Diesel and was wondering if anyone got theirs yet? How are the MPG's compared to the last few years? Any other thoughts? Thank...

OK...Said I was driving up to WV today...we're here. I topped my tank off Tuesday...I fill until it clicks and that's it with the 13'..Anywho...First check included some city driving, driving to and from work and some of the trip up today. Had 262 when I topped off again, took 16.9 gallons and I had put 262 miles on it...EVIC said 15.6...hand calc put it at 15.5
Second top off was about 1/2 mile from my camp...topped off tank, EVIC showed I was getting 16.7 mpg..(some interstate, last 40 was secondary mountainous curvy roads...45-55 mph mostly...I put 9 gallons in and had 150 miles on the meter...made it 16.66 mpg...EVIC stated 16.7 really close....I NEVER got that kind of mpg taking the same trip on the same roads with the 10 or the 12' Ram...this truck now has a little over 500 miles on it...I'm impressed and it performed flawlessly....love it:)
Maybe a little to soon with only 500 miles... but did you notice if it ever went into regen mode on your trip?
No, got to admit, I couldn't tell...never saw average mpg drop off, I understand with the new emissions, regen still happens, just not as often? (that's more a question than a statement)...last Chevy I owned, an 07.5, and the 10 Ram, I could tell by watching ave. mpg...just did it, don't know why...Also could tell with the 12'...with mpg as high as it was for me(compared to 10' and 12'), I just didn't see it, but if it did re-gen, got to admit, I couldn't tell.
