I'm seeing a lot of 'fuel hungry yank tank' rather than 'current generation American ute 57% more efficient than previous generation competitors giving significant green credentials validating RAM's ISO 140001 accreditation and commitment to a cleaner world' ;)

17.5 on the highway? What were you in second gear the whole time or was there a leak in the tank?
I used to have a 300c with the 5.7L hemi.
On the highway I would get low 7's and about 13 around town.
I know the Ram is heavier and less aerodynamic, but I would hope they have made the engine more efficient in the past 12 years since my 300c was built.
If I got 7s on the highway he hen I can't see why a Ram wouldn't get 9.9 now.
My numbers were based of the trip computer, but when I checked it at the pump a few times it was always pretty close to the trip computer number. Around town I was even using 0.5L less than the computer said when I checked
