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? _____________________________ '06 Ram 1500 '78 Ply. Fury LAPD Detective w/360 (long gone:-( '86 442 '72 Cut. Sup. W/455 (in reply to Big#44) Post #: 2

RE: Whats the most miles youve gotten in a single tank?? - 2/2/2008 1:36:37 PM    pizza442   Posts: 51 Joined: 6/19/2006 Status: offline 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? _____________________________ '06 Ram 1500 '78 Ply.

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.

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 _____________________________ (in reply to phillipguru) Post #: 10

Put in a full tank of gas before leaving Tulsa and hopped right onto the freeway from the station. Drove the entire way down via highway and did not stop. Got to uncle's house on fumes... total was approx 460 miles. Running on 17" stock tires and running with cruise control set at 5 over speed limit at night/early morning.  Departed Tulsa at about 11:40pm _____________________________ 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 ST Quad Cab 4X2 3.7-liter Magnum V6 engine (yes, the baby of Ram engines) Mineral Gray Metallic Clear Coat Sprayed In Bed Liner Self-Installed Tow Hitch and Wire Harness Security System - Sig P229 (9mm) (in reply to Secretlover) Post #: 15
