In 12,500 miles since new, about 460 miles on the 26 gallon tank. Std cab/short bed 6speed. Mostly freeway, but some city thrown in. I have no doubt that I could get over 500 on a trip to Vegas--and back. Of course I have no need to do 80+; I have other fun cars for speed!.
The QC's with the V6 have a harder time. Wonder if the sticks get better than autos?

The best ive gotten is about 330 on a 22 gallon tank....Its a single cab 3.7L V6. Im running 22" so it might have an effect as well.

I thought they all had 26 gallon tanks. ive got 2005 single cab, and im pretty sure ive got a 26, even though i used to think it was 22.

and man you got 460 miles!?!?!!? right now im trying to aim for 350, the closest ive come is like 330-340.

I always try to keep at least 35 lbs. air in the tires, up to 38. They are the stock 17" with Goodyears (I like the michelins better!) Keep cruising rpm's at or under 2000 rpm. Since mine is a 6 speed strippo with no options (no carpet even) so it is light. 3:21 diff. What do the 4 speed autos come with?

I just bought my 2008 Electric Blue Short bed 2 door 1500 v6 on the 1st and I have gone 208 miles and i am at half a tank exactly. I think i can get about 400 miles a fill up with a gallon or two to spare.

I think i have the newest ram v6 on the forum. I went from a 2006 civic lx coupe to the Ram. I absolutely love it.

I have hit 330 miles and I still have a full 1/4 tank of gas left. Still on my trucks first tank of gas..... Cant wait to cry when I fill it up myself for the first time.

Hope you have the 26 gallon tank and not the 34 I have. Plus diesel is about 60 cents more then unleaded in my area. [:@] Thank god I can get waste vegetable oil for $1.50 per gallon and mix it nicely.

I have gotton a little more then 560 miles on one tank mostly highway
