Though we like to top off as much as possible when filling up, I would not recommend filling up to the point that you can actually see the fuel in the filler neck. Depending on the vehicles emissions control design, I can cause issues with the emissions charcoal canister from the fuel sloshing into the vapor fumes line. I cant count how many times I've had to replace these for people due to this. just food for thought.

I did pretty much what you did on my stock 2008 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi with mds, keeping it at 55-60 mph and got 27 mpg, which amazed me since normally I am lucky to get 20 mpg driving at 75mph. I attributed this to the lower speed, flat terrain, overdrive and the mds system which likely ran on 4 cylinders for the test period. Until your video I never mentioned it to anyone since I figured no one would believe a hemi could get such good mileage.

Most every RAM 1500 V8 owner complains their fuel mileage compared to the EPA mileage. But almost every Ram 1500 sold with a V8 is equipped with 3.92 Axle Ratio, rather than the Standard 3.23 Axle which is how the truck is equipped for the EPA Fuel Milage Test. The 3.92 gives the truck a Higher Towing Rating and it can be equipped with a Electric Locker Rear Axle. It also makes for quicker acceleration. The 3.23 Cannot be equipped with the Electric Locker (No reason given) the Towing Rating is lower and it accelerates slower. The 3.23 axle compared to the 3.92 axle results in a Engine RPM Reduction of 22% which equates to lower fuel consumption at any given vehicle speed, less engine wear and less engine noise. So unless you are towing heavy loads, or drag racing, RAM sold you a axle ratio that hurts fuel efficiency, but the EPA Rating looks good for advertising. Personally, I find RAM ‘s method of Ignoring the Intent of EPA rules to be Unethical. No Where in RAM advertising is it mentioned that the Costly Optional 3.92 Axle Ratio WILL Increase Fuel Consumption, making it even more Costly to the Buyer and Harmful to the planet.

I pulled off in my 3.21 ram going 60 mph for 90 miles, 26 mpg from my family's land west of Weatherford all the way back to my home in frisco, tx area. Dash was spot on. Now my work commute and a whole bunch of other random trips to the grocery store, etc says I'm getting 17.5ish. Driving grandpa style this tank in reality got about 1.5-2 mpg less then what the dash was saying. Pretty crazy, I was in the high 15s-16mpg. All highway she's accurate most the time from my experience. I really want to do the fan mod, and the shorty's. I just hate to mess with the grill shutters and I dont want to spend all the money on a tuner to adjust the fan temps and all that. I just added a drop in k&n filter and I can tell that the truck does not feel as bogged down in mds mode as it used to, just from a drop in filter... also about 1-2mpg better on the highway.

I think they do it deliberately as if no one hand calcs and would believe the now inaccurate mpg gauge. Superchips may be one of the few that doesnt do this. Its good to see someone doing mpg videos , I always thought MDS was a good idea despite many people disabling it. EFAN and exhaust will definitely improve mpg.

Best method is to fill until pump clicks off and wait 30 seconds and pump until it clicks again and stop. This is the most consistent method of hand calculating your mpg

Awesome. I just picked up an Ecodiesel. Kept going back and forth between that and the 5.7. Excited to see what I get. Its used and has 20" rims and 37" tires. Hoping to get between 23-25mpg with the lift. :)

Yo man. I hate to call you out in public like this but you absolutely messed this test up by switching out the factory 20s...The big horn and higher trims come with 275/60r20 tires a 33” tire. The one you put on are the tradesman tires a 265/70r17 a 31.6” tire. The truck odometer is showing you traveled way more than you actually did. Like 5% more. So your MPG is closer to 25/24. But you messed up such big factor that. We cant trust data. You have to re do it with the factory tires. I really like your videos, they’ve helped out in a lot. But this test is inconclusive without the factory 20s.

I used to test a product for MPG on several different brands and models of vehicles. You need more than 50 miles for an accurate calculation. do a full tank before doing the math. You'll also see how the difference in distance effects the calculations. We used a Lab in Ontario California to get official numbers for our product using a dynometer along with high tech equipment using EPA Standards for exhaust and MPG. (What the manufacturers use for their official MPG numbers) But they didn't go as I am saying using a full tank for their numbers (Real Life) but MPG does change using at greater distances compared to short runs because of topographical differences. That's why people rarely get the official MPG numbers put out by the manufacturer. its all LAB controlled test results It might not be that significant but you are a detail oriented person and did notice a difference topping it off across the street so I thought I'd point that out. I don 't even get half of what you showed here but mine is an 07. the biggest fail on that besides the exhaust is the slider window leaking filling up the two bowls under the seat meant for storage. I've been stuck on KZbin for like 3 hours watching your videos, I agree with everyone else, your very talented in "how to" video production. Thank you

Made a trip from Sacramento to San Francisco and back with my HEMI and got 25.1MPG, it's a 2008 Durango 4X4 with a 5.7L HEMI. Only aftermarket I had installed was a K&N CAI. There wasn't much traffic to SF though lots on the way back. I manually controlled the throttle the whole way and kept it around 60MPH the whole time. One thing that seems to help is Lucas fuel treatment and Upper Cylinder Lubricant.

Did you have your truck's speedometer/odometer adjusted for the different wheel size? With smaller wheels, the computer thinks you are going farther than you actually are. It sounded like at the end of the video that you said you had it adjusted, but I wasn't sure that's what you were talking about.

@davelevy43943 жыл бұрын
If you topped off your tires (TPMS shows a low tire) you would have gotten even BETTER mileage. I have the same truck, and when filling up with gas, it can take a really long time to get to the point where you see gas at the rim where the gas cap screws on, and the gas remains there, or it does not dribble down. If the gas pump will only deliver gas at a fast rate, you cannot top off from the pump. Need to put about 3-4 gallons in a gas can and pour it in very slowly. The difference in actual mileage calculated with the tank top off, and what the trip computer shows, is marginal. I do not waste my time filling up and topping off now that I figured that out. I do like to fill it up as much as possible when I find a good price. Sometimes I will bring gas cans and fill them up, but gas will only last a few weeks when stored.
