The other day we took a trip ftom southern illinois, through st louis, to southern Missouri...a couple of hundred miles each way. Starting out I reset the mpg meter on the dash, and recorded 17.4-1...

Well I've owned or had company trucks with just about every gasser offered except the new 6.4 Rams, 6.2 Chevy and 8.1 Chevy and I can say with certainty that every one of them averaged between 11 and 14mpg on the highway. Never drive slow enough to squeeze 17 out of anything with a gas V8 so your truck is right on par. Wouldn't expect the 5.7 to do much better than the 6.4 apples to apples. With today's fuel and ignition management, they all use about the same gas for the amount of hp required for the condition at hand.
