Question:
Why is the MPG on Dodge trucks so bad compared to Chevy/Ford/Toyota? Would replacing the entire drive train on my 2001 QC with Chevy improve it? I get 10-11, my friends with comparable trucks by C/F/T are getting around 15-16. Sup?

What engine do you have?I have a HEMI with only 600 miles on it and get 11 in town and about 16 on highway but that's what I expected.After breakin I should get 18 on highway just what sticker says,friends of mine say they get 19.i own a repair shop and the reason they use so much more gas is dodge has always been a higher torquing engine than any of the rest,all the way back on dodge they have had good torque,and to get good torque you need fuel,and compression and stroke,and dodge has always had all of these,they use a lot of gas but put any one of them in a strain,and they will take it and not bog down,you have to ask your self is the extra power and torque worth the cost of driving one of these,then you know the answer,good luck hope this helps.
one of the reasons could be the 4x4. this is extra weight and another thing the engine has to work with.
i get about 13 in streets with my HEMI, but i am heavy footed and like to speed. (i know its wrong, but oh well)
try getting a better air filter, K&N, or an entire FIPK, this helps and gives it a better sound too.
I need help changing the headlight on my 03 acura rsx ?
look at how much power the truck has. these trucks are probably not really comparable. ford has about 65 less hp, not sure chevy.
Is $2000.00 a good trade-in price for a 1993 jeep wrangler with 204,000 miles on it?
if you want power, you have to feed the beast.
I have a 1991 chevy 4x4, the 4x4 does not ingage?
and sorry, but dont even compare toyota with any of these real trucks. toyotas are pretty but not workhorses, that is why they are fuel efficient.
Is it true that an Audi RS4 is 2x better than an evo?
have all these trucks haul something heavy and you will see their mpg plummet and not be able to keep up.

Maybe it's you driving style.I bought a ram 1500 new in'05 with the 4.7, 20" wheels, tow package, SLT and it get right at 20 on the open road and 15 around town. It's not showing 30,000 miles yet.
if you dont pull heavy loads or carry them,look into re gearing your axles.also consider a k&n air filter kit,and dual exhaust.plus dont slam the gas when taking off,the dodge will think it has something heavy to pull or drag and will go into "max" mode for torque which basically sucks alot of gas,but produces gobs of torque.learn to be gentle on the go pedal and you can get 15+ on that alone,combined with the mods,and maybe using synthetic oils,you should see a great jump in fuel econ
Just got 20inch rims on my 06 Altima and they are rubbing in the rear what do I do?
I have a 95 Ram that got 11 mpg. after replacing the fresh air intake with a K&N system, put in a mass air flow sensor and used a Bully Dog control system to improve the mpg. now I get 18 mpg. that is with a stock 2 1/2 inch exhaust. I have friends that tell me I should install a 3 inch exhaust and that will give me horse power and even better fuel economy. Some of my friends are getting 20 to 22 highway and 15 to 17 city.More Questions & Answers ...
