I burn about $5500 worth of fuel per year in my truck. If I knew a Ram could do 10% better it could save me about $11,000 over a 20 year period. With inflation that might more like $20,000.
Yeah, but in the real world, the Ram still got 3.5% better mileage than the Ford!
You are missing the point. The Ford driver knows what the mpg will be when they purchase the vehicle. The Ram driver maybe, maybe not.
The question is not who got the best mpg? But based on the info provided by the manufacturer who got the vehicle they researched?
I am holding out judgement until they get a few more miles as maybe it is running rich on the break-in tune.
No, the point is that the Ram got better mileage. No one actually believes the EPA mileage. By the way, I own a Ford EcoBust that gets terrible mileage.
I guess you didn’t even watch the video. How many “trucks” could they have included with even better mpg? That would make your point even better.:h
