Well, the title says it all. I am the proud owner of a 2009 Ram 1500 Crew Cab with a 5.7 liter Hemi. My guess is that alone that puts me near the bottom of heap around here MPG wise. Add in that I do a lot of towing and my actual combined MPG of around 14 probably would give most members here nightmares. For the use of my truck that is actually a good number.

On the Ram forums I belong to, most would say we didn't buy our trucks for MPG and they are right to an extent. Yes, I bought my Ram primarily for the utility but the better the MPG, the more money in my pocket. I spent over $7100 in fuel last year, a mere 1 MPG increase to 15 would have meant nearly $500 in savings. My mods so far are limited to my driving and using full synthetic oil.

I consider myself a good driver MPG wise but hopefully I can learn a few things here. I have a degree in aeronautical engineering so I may be of some help for those working on aerodynamic mods.
