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.

    First post said 63mph average. Which was it?


    No kidding... Low to mid 60s yeah, but your not getting that kind of mileage at 75-80MPH unless you have a 40mph tail wind.
  • Evic is close enough for me. Not all flat ground thats for sure and majority of trip was 75-80 mph
  • 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.

    Sounds about right on what I get with mine. The cylinder de-activation really helps out. Too bad the other manufacturers haven't caught up yet.
