I just did my 4th tank of gas in this beast. Raven exhaust (flowmaster clone) and mostly hilly highway driving. I did 390 someodd miles and filled up with 20.2 gallons. I just put in a K&N drop in on the way home from work today. Hopefully i'll be able to get 20mpg no problemo.

499 and I'm pretty sure I was close to running out of gas. Probably 350 or so of it was when I was coming back from Vegas and drove 65-70 the whole way.  The last 150 miles or so were driving around town.

I average 350 miles per tank, 90% driving is done around town.  And the 350 miles is when the gas hand is on the out of fuel line.  I have been trying to keep my RPM's under 2000, but damn, it sure is hard to do.  I used to get mad when people would take off from a light and take their time getting up to speed, but when I can't even fill up for $75, I don't care what people think about me.  lol  I bought my v-6 for better gas mileage......  it is better, but not much is worse than the 11-13 mpg I was getting with my 5.9 liter....  sigh.  prolly won't be getting another ram due to the pissy ass gas mileage they get....   thats on down the road though.

Ha Ha same here I purchase the 3.7 for Gas mileage also I should of keep my V-8 Ford it would of been paid for by now. Never again a V-6 in a full size truck.

Yes I get better  MPG than the Ford V-8 but it was not worth trading in for this truck after all at least the Ford had enough power to get out it own way.

I found out the hard way go to the Truck fourm first before buying a new truck and see what others have to say about it Buyer Beware.

I used to get 500 miles to a tank when it was new in 04.  Now I get 400 tops with no mods.
