Ram 6.4 mpg
Went to Price Ut with 1500lbs in the bed and back empty. 63mph average and 17.2 mpg according to evic. Not bad.

Was that Lie-O-Meter or hand calculations. My hand calculations that I keep track of on an app are almost always 1-2 mpg less than what the EVIC(aka Lie-O-Meter) states in my Ram 2500 CTD.
We saw the opposite on the Fast Lane Truck video of the RAM 3500 Ike Guantlet pull that showed the EVIC fuel economy # to be understated compared to the hand calculated fuel economy #. Which for some reason I felt like the EVIC fuel economy # was probably more realistic.
Every truck is different but more often than not they read high rather than low. That is why everyone should compare hand calculated to the computer over several tanks of fuel. Once you know if its off and by how much it pretty much stays the same way over the life of the truck. A single pull up the Gauntlet is hardly long enough of a drive to make any kind of conclusion about the computer. It needs to be checked over several hundreds of miles.
