What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Ram 1500

Ram 1500 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Crew Cab 6.5ft bed 395-horsepower 5.7L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Amazing getting 16-18 mpg around town and 19-21 mpg on the highway is unheard of in a V8 truck this big see full Ram 1500 review
2012	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 390-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I use to own the v6 and I can honestly say that the Hemi get much better fuel mileage because its not trying to lug around the huge chassis and body. My V6 would avg about Mabye 13 MPG while my Hemi can get about 18 to 24 on good days sometimes even better. see full Ram 1500 review
2011	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 390-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I am fortunate in that I work from home, and do not need my vehicle to commute to work. However, for a six month period I made a 40-mile round trip five days a week, and averaged 15MPG in mixed urban surface/Interstate driving. This is considerably better than the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4wd/4.7L V8 the truck replaced (13MPG), and I attribute the better performance to the MDS cylinder deactivation. I have observed 22MPG over a 400 mile trip of combined Interstate and rural 2-lane highway travel with speeds ranging from 60-75 MPH. The truck was unloaded at the time and acceleration runs were gentle to maximize fuel economy. The return trip resulted in19MPG performance over the same route. see full Ram 1500 review

2012	4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	I got 468 miles on a tank of gas from Greenville TN to Charleston SC then to Myrtle Beach. Very impressed see full Chevrolet Impala review
2011	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	So far so good with E10 Fuel I am getting an average of 27 and I only have 500 miles on it so far. I now have over 3000 miles and just got back from a long trip 1/2 of it hilly. I set the cruise on 67 and let it go averaged over 32mpg by the end of trip see full Chevrolet Impala review
2009	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Averaging 25.0 mpg in mixed driving, very good for the size of the vehicle and the the fact that it is a V6. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Fuel Economy beats smaller sized cars, let alone others in the same class. 30mpg is not hard to attain. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Its a full size car that gives good performance and still gets 30 MPG on the highway. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	If driven carefully, 22-30 MPG around town and 33-36 MPG highway. If you are a sloppy driver, make that 18-20 and 25 MPG. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Mileage averages 23-24 around town and close to 30 on road trips which is quite good considering engine size and power. see full Chevrolet Impala review

2008	4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	In town mileage is less than 15 mpg. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2007	4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Only get about 25 mpg on interstate with the 3.9 Active fuel management is a gimmick in my opinion and older GM cars with a V6 I have driven have been better with fuel economy than the 3.9. see full Chevrolet Impala review
