Re: Miles to the Gallon on a Dodge Ram
What are all the things I can do to get better mileage from my 5.2 stick? I heard Lucas fuel injector cleaner, ...taking off the front shaft??? and being a manual should help, I should keep it in top gear and stay around what mph/rpm on long highways?
Would a cold air intake help?

Re: Miles to the Gallon on a Dodge Ram
If you get a cold air you also need to get an exhaust. More air in needs a way out as well. I got a stick as well and get lately 12-14 city and 17 highway. The typical rpm range is 1500-2000 for best gas mileage.

Re: Miles to the Gallon on a Dodge Ram
all I know is these dodge rams are GAS Guzzlers. The fuel MPG seems to vary all the time depending on the way you drive? the best MPG I get is driving from california to utah on flat highway in cruise control. BUT when we drive it hard and drive it up hills. IT eats everything up fast.
Right now gas is about $3.75 a gallon. We fill up at COSTCO because its $.20 cheaper. It cost about $81 to fill the entire tank up. The tank last about 2 to 3 days because we use it every single day. We have 270,000 miles on a gas motor with its 2nd tranny on it. This is the 360 5.9L v8 |

Re: Miles to the Gallon on a Dodge Ram
I just bought a 2005 1500 ram with the hemi. Does a k&N cold air filter give you better gas milage or just better performance. I have friends with ford 250's who have changed chips it doesn't void the warranty and gives you better milage. Anybody know anything about that for a dodge.
