Thats what this test is .... not 100 miles but a 66 mile loop of regular highway driving. I actually would consider a Ram if I thought it would get better fuel economy than the Ford. I'm pretty sure the Ram can display the DPF level so it is very unlikely that the Ram did a burn but maybe? If the Ford will actually go 30% further on a gallon of fuel than the Ram I can't see anyone buying a Ram over a Ford. On the other hand I can't help being somewhat sceptical of these results.

But then the grumpy ole men of the world would have less fodder to argue and complain about....

I'm with you, and I either buy a vehicle for fuel efficiency, or for another purpose. The minutia of this one gets 1.20357 mpg better or worse than the other is of diminishing returns.

Not surprised on the Rams results with the HO engine

I see the problem. At 14.46 the rear wheels are turning the wrong direction.
That's got to hurt mileage some.
