Fixing to buy a new truck and decided on a Ram, just curious on MPG for a 1500 with Hemi and 8 speed trans., with 3.92 rear end.
Thanks for any info.
I have the same set up ordered and on the way.
I currently have the same truck minus the 8spd, it s a 2012 w/ 85K,with stock gearing (3.55 I think) and get 14-15 in town and 19 on the Hwy. The 3.92 is going to be worse than that. How bad, I'm not sure, but wanted to best towing without going to a 2500.
I have this exact truck in a Laramie Crew cab.
The lie-o-meter on the dash stays between 15 and 16 MPG during normal driving, mostly city driving. I'm getting almost exactly 14 MPG on a regular basis (calculated).
It does better on the hwy, sometimes close to 20MPG. I have not done enough hwy driving to confirm exactly though.
