I just bought a 2007 dodge ram 1500 4x4 and i LOVE It. I know they are advertised to get 17 to 18 on the highway but im getting under that.... any of you owners know whats speeds and other adjustments i can make to get that great gas mileage?
 
Thats the BEST truck you can buy. Dodge invented the heavey duty truck with Jeep so they know what theyre doing. Dodge>ford,gm,toyota especially toyota.

HERES WHAT YOU DO: listen up.

RESET YOU GAUGE when your cruising and you will get the MPG number that you are currently at. If you DONT reset your MPG gauge it will remain an average with city and highway combined. My 2004 Hemi gets 21 mpg better than toyota, ford, and gm and I have more power and towing. I also own fords but we dont want to talk about that, long story of repairs.

Yeah thats a good buy, more power and reliable than the rest with that hemi. haha the guy that first answered the question thinks toyota is something special....he needs to youtube the videos on toyotas frame.....dont think he'll be saying the same thing after that. But yeah I believe you have to reset your MPG gauge and then you should get 20 mpg. I have to do this with my Nissan altima.
 
My friend, welcome to 2009. Why do you think that Chrysler, GM & Ford are nearly bankrupt? It's because they sold a lot of pick-ups to people who thought they'd get 17-18 mpg, and are getting 12 instead. Had you bought a Toyota, Honda, etc, you'd be getting better mileage because they are designed & built better, and your vehicle would still be worth something next year. There is nothing you can do to improve your mileage very much, and if Chrysler goes under (likely) I am sorry to tell you your truck will be worth almost nothing.
