2008 1500 HEMI 4x4 (MDS)

Magnaflow muffler
Superchips programmer (MDS On)
K&N drop in filter
Valvoline full synthetic

70-80% of the day I'm in 4 wheel drive, days I'm on the main roads at cruising speed anywhere from 17 to 18.5 depending which way the wind is blowing, as well as terrain. Some times a little higher.

2010 1500 HEMI (MDS)

Magnaflow muffler
Superchips programmer (MDS On)
Cooper Zeon 275/60/20 Tires
2/4 Drop
Bed Cover
Mobil1 full synthetic

These are the mods that somewhat contribute to my mileage. Around town I get around 13-15 and highway 18-20, if I can behave and keep it under 75. Before the 4" drop (Had 2" front lift) highway mileage was more like 17-18. I'm sure with some shorter street tires I could easily do 21-22 highway.

OBC blows at mpg I do it myself. I think you misunderstood me. While I'm working my truck is always in 4 wheel drive so I never bother to check the mpg while in fwd. At crusing speed 60 to 65 in 2wd I can pull them numbers.

2000 Ram 1500 QC 1500
5.9 V-8
Champion plugs Taylor wires
Catback exhaust, 14x3 Filter MSD coil
Lifted, 33 inch tires, 3:55 gears
Regular gas

Gets 10-11mpg city and around 13mpg highway if run at 70mph steady. Doesn't do any better with premium, high dollar unobtanium plugs or a CAI.
It really needs a tuner and some lower gears to wake it up. MPGs are irrelevant...when I need MPGs I either drive to gf's Ranger or rent an econo box.
